Lyrics
Roll up the gate, it's a quarter to eight Open sign flicker, never running late Mama on the register, pops in the back Cutting up the boxes, stacking up the stack Corner shop dreaming of a bigger sign Got a line at the counter, that's a good time Every customer's a neighbor, every one's a friend Little business big heart, that's the trend Flick it on, flick it bright Make the whole block light Open, open, open sign flicker Open, open, doing it quicker Neon buzzing, red and blue Family business coming through Open, open, open all day Open, open, hear us say Shop's open, shop's open, come on in Let the good times begin Kid with a dollar buys a bag of chips Lady with a list and a pocket full of tips Delivery truck beeping at the back door Fresh bread, fresh fruit, every kind of store Window sign peeling but we fix it with tape Bought this place with a dream and a little escape Coffee in the pot, music on the speaker Everybody leaves with a smile, little sneaker Flick it on, flick it bright Make the whole block light Open, open, open sign flicker Open, open, doing it quicker Neon buzzing, red and blue Family business coming through Open, open, open all day Open, open, hear us say Shop's open, shop's open, come on in Let the good times begin Hands up if you shop local Hands up if you've got the vocal Hands up for the folks who stay Keeping the lights on every day Open, open, open sign flicker Open, open, doing it quicker Neon buzzing, red and blue Family business coming through Open, open, open all day Open, open, hear us say Shop's open, shop's open, come on in Let the good times begin Open, open Come on in
