Lyrics
Cooks are shouting, woks are hot Last order in, give it all you got Steam is rising, bowls are flying Cooks and diners, nobody's sighing Last order in, last order in Clap your hands, let the dance begin Last order in, last order in Stools go round and round we spin Auntie waves her ladle high Uncle winks and passes by Fan is spinning, lamps swing low Closing time and we still go Last order in, last order in Clap your hands, let the dance begin Last order in, last order in Stools go round and round we spin Hey, hey, wipe the table Hey, hey, dance if you are able Hey, hey, one more bowl Hey, hey, dance with your soul Pull the shutters, count the change Shake a leg, nothing strange Tomorrow we will start again Tonight we dance, amen Last order in, last order in Clap your hands, let the dance begin Last order in, last order in Stools go round and round we spin Last order in Hey!
