Oh no the kitchen is closed
If I feel it coming round I'll see it go
Oh stop worrying about it

The mortgage is paid
Yeah the money's well spent


And I will watch you
Go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there watch out

For your face to perspire

Go on telling me

That I don't need a job
Or a college degree
Throw up your caps and your gowns

Your %#@! out of luck
Your never leaving this town


Hang on to your family tree
They've given you everything you'll ever need
Don't take care and don't even write

You'll never see my face again after tonight

And I will watch you

Go down to the dark place of the party
And stop there watch out
For your face to perspire


And take everything that
I ever lent to your closet

I burned all your hangings around
And threw out the locket
