The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up The piper must be paid The party's over, the candles flicker and dim You danced and dreamed through the night It seemed to be right just being with him Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend The party's over, it's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend It's all over, my friend
