Last Call Charleston

Lyrics: Clock is ticking, Lights are low, But nobody's Ready to go. Empty glasses, Neon signs, Everybody's Losing time. Bartender's shouting, "That's the last!" But we're dancing Way too fast. One more record, One more chance, One more night To make it last. PRE-CHORUS — 0:40–0:54 Raise your glass! Take my hand! Everybody Join the band! Hear that trumpet! Hear that snare! Last call's coming— Do we care? CHORUS — 0:54–1:20 HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! Don't go home! Keep the rhythm In your bones! Turn it louder! Shake the floor! Give me one more— Give me more! HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! Round we go! Let the whole room Steal the show! One more spin! One more chance! Everybody— ONE LAST DANCE! BRASS DROP — 1:20–1:38 (Trumpets blast the main hook melody.) Female Voice: ONE! Crowd: LAST! Female Voice: DANCE! (Saxophone solo.) HEY! (Drums cut.) HEY! (Bass returns.) DANCE! VERSE 2 — 1:38–2:04 Chairs are standing On the floor, Someone's dancing By the door. Champagne dripping On the stairs, Feathers flying Through the air. Taxi engines Start outside, But the band is Still alive. Every stranger, Every friend, Knows this night Should never end. PRE-CHORUS — 2:04–2:18 Stamp your feet! Clap your hands! Make the whole room Understand! No tomorrow! Not tonight! Keep the music Burning bright! CHORUS — 2:18–2:44 HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! Feel the heat! Let the rhythm Move your feet! Brass is screaming! Bass is tight! We're not leaving Here tonight! HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! Take the floor! If they kick us Out the door! We'll keep swinging Down the street! Till the sunrise Brings the beat! BREAKDOWN — 2:44–3:05 (Everything suddenly stops.) Only upright bass. Bass player: Dum... dum-dum... A clock ticks. Tick. Tick. Tick. Bartender: "Folks..." "We're closing." (Silence.) A woman laughs. Female Voice: "Then play one more." (Snare begins rolling.) BIG BUILD — 3:05–3:20 One! Two! Three! Four! Open up the doors! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! We're gonna celebrate! Trumpets rising... Drums exploding... MALE VOICE: "ONE LAST DANCE!" FINAL CHORUS — 3:20–3:50 HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! LOSE CONTROL! Feel that rhythm Take your soul! Raise your glass! Raise it high! Let the brass Attack the sky! HEY! ONE LAST DANCE! Make it count! Let the whole room Jump around! When the lights Begin to fade... We'll keep dancing Unafraid! ONE! LAST! DANCE! FINAL BREAK — 3:50–4:02 (The band hits three enormous brass stabs.)
