"Licence to Still (Stay Open)"

(8 bar intro)

Inspector solo

Gaze upon my clipboard

Open up your eyes.

Read my tidy shorthand

Here your destiny lies.

Your museum's time is running out

You're heading for a storm.

And all because you didn't tick

The boxes on my form.

CHORUS (ALL)

You've got no licence to still...

...Stay open!

No licence to still...

...Stay open!

So close your doors

Shutter your windows.

Your time has come

To an end.

To an end

Inspector

I have all the power

To control your destiny.

You should grovel to me

Down on bended knee.

Your museum's time is running out

You're heading for a storm.

And all because you didn't tick

The boxes on my form.

CHORUS (ALL)

You've got no licence to still...

...Stay open!

No licence to still...

...Stay open!

So close your doors

Shutter your windows.

Your time has come

To an end

To an end

Inspector

Please don't think it's personal

I'm like this with everyone.

I swoop in like a vulture

Make my verdict...then I'm gone.

CHORUS (ALL)

No feelings or emotions

Friendships are for fools.

These forms...my secret weapons

Always ready for the calls.

Ready for the call

CHORUS (ALL)

You've got no licence to still...

...Stay open!

No licence to still...

...Stay open!

So close your doors

Shutter your windows.

Your time has come

To an end.

To an end

TO AN END!
