Lyrics

"It's time to get smart," You told me I said, "You needn't bother" If you could only last for the night You said, "Well that's fine I can see it's getting on but I could do with another" So bring the timetable And your house keys And don't forget your name Or where you live The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you get to bed like everybody else? The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you grow old like everybody else? "Could you please keep quiet," ((Shh!)) You asked me "I'm a big boy now and I can take what's coming to me" Ah, but what could I say? But, "We're all getting on And something's gonna get us before too long" Can't you change your tune? And sleep in your own room And say it isn't so That you can't say no The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you get to bed like everybody else? The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you take a break like everybody else? The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you get to bed like everybody else? The noisy days are over And here we are instead Why don't you take the bus like everybody else? I hope that you can keep it up
