Lyrics
Verse 1
Seven sharp I flip the little sign
Sweep the step and count the chairs again
Nobody's here but the kettle knows my name
Monday opens slow like a paper cut
Pre-Chorus
I hum a tune from a radio that quit
Took the tablets down
Sold a pack of mints
Chorus
Master menu hours
Open till we drop
Master menu hours
Wednesday through the Saturday
Master menu hours
Somebody walk in
Somebody walk in
Post-Chorus
Da da da da
Da da da da
Verse 2
A woman asks if the special is still warm
I say it's been warm since half past ten
She laughs a little laughs like a kitchen door
Then leaves her change and a napkin note
Pre-Chorus
I read it twice
It says the soup was good
Taped it to the register
Nobody else would
Chorus
Master menu hours
Open till we drop
Master menu hours
Wednesday through the Saturday
Master menu hours
Somebody walk in
Somebody walk in
Post-Chorus
Da da da da
Da da da da
Bridge
Closing time is a rumor I made up
To keep the lights on
Lock the latch
Wipe the counter clean
Half the town asleep
And I'm still standing here
Chorus
Master menu hours
Open till we drop
Master menu hours
Wednesday through the Saturday
Master menu hours
Somebody walk in
Somebody walk in
