Lyrics
Eight fifty-five and I am out the door Socks don't match but I don't care no more Need some milk and a bag of chips Running down the street with my sneakers untied The sign says open The clock says no Hold the light on Here I go Corner shop closes at nine I run at eight fifty-nine Mister Patel waves me in With a big old grin Corner shop closes at nine Everything is gonna be fine Got my milk and I got my chips Oh, I made it by a minute Mister Patel knows my name Knows my order, knows my shame Same dumb snack at the end of the day He slides it over and he says okay The sign says open The clock says no Hold the light on Here I go Corner shop closes at nine I run at eight fifty-nine Mister Patel waves me in With a big old grin Corner shop closes at nine Everything is gonna be fine Got my milk and I got my chips Oh, I made it by a minute Thank you for staying Thank you for the light Thank you for the chips On a lonely night Corner shop closes at nine I run at eight fifty-nine Mister Patel waves me in With a big old grin Corner shop closes at nine Everything is gonna be fine Got my milk and I got my chips Oh, I made it by a minute Oh, I made it by a minute
