Closing the store today

Liner Notes

Lyrics

They’re closing the store today They did their best But it just didn’t play They’re closing the store today They’re closing the store today

Through the good times and the bad Always service with a smile Times have gone from bad to worse Consequence of the internet’s curse And they’re closing the store today Closing the store today Closing the store today It just doesn’t pay

Loyalty is not rewarded The webpage message prerecorded Sorry to announce the closure Good times last, and then they’re over We’re closing the store today Closing the store today Closing the store today It just doesn’t pay

They’re closing the store today Business has moved online Inevitable, some folk say A sign of modern times

And they’re closing the store today Closing the store today Closing the store today It just didn’t pay

Wow you have been so prolific already! This is lovely and mellow. Sound a bit Nick Pope. Calling out for some harmonies on the chorus. It is Sad stores are closing but I also am an introverted internet shopper .
