Psalm For The Elks Lodge Last Call Lyrics - The Weakerthans

Let the waitress put the chairs up 

Let the glasses that you broke 

Form a picture of our leader 

With a halo made of smoke 

Let the golden oldies station 

Crackle and come through 

With a final benediction 

We'll hum along to 

Before we say goodnight 

Let our talk about the ball game 

And the weather show we care 

Like a sound we didn't notice 

Until it stopped and left us there 

With the traffic and our heartbeats 

Beating in straight time 

Let our hatred and affection 

March in the same line 

Before we say goodnight 

Oh, protect our secret handshake 

Once more with feeling 

Let the toast to absent members 

Push through the ceiling 

Before we say goodnight 

Before we say goodnight 

Before we say goodnight
