Opening Time

I gaze across this land so green With wonder and delight I pause a moment and I think When's opening time tonight I'll just pop in and have a pint And maybe if I see A friend or two at the bar Sure that would make it three Then I would have to buy one back So that would make it four It won’t be very long now 'Till I'm lying on the floor And sure that’s not a bad thing It saves the legs you know From all that standing at the bar Until it's time to go And if I lie here long enough That too would be fine I'll be first in the queue tomorrow Ready for opening time
