Big Boss Lee
Unlock the Night: Big Boss Lee's Downtown Anthem
Lyrics
This town shuts down too damn soon
This town closes early, and it's frustrating
(We don't like it, we don't like it)
Expressing disapproval of the town's early closing
No dancin' room and no saloon
No space for dancing and no bars
(We don't like it, we don't like it)
Expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of entertainment options
Got the itch, gotta scratch
Feeling a strong desire or urge
Man there's just one catch
There's a single obstacle or drawback
2 a.m. ain't good enough for me
2 a.m. closing time is not late enough
If you want to know the score
If you want to understand the situation
When you're steppin' out the door
When leaving, focus on the money, not personal identification
Grab the cash, forget the old ID
Emphasizing the importance of money over personal identity
Just hang with me and you'll be singin'
Being with the speaker leads to a joyful experience
Whoa, everybody knows
A general exclamation, expressing excitement or emphasis
If you're thirsty after three
If you're still thirsty after 3 a.m.
Got to talk to Mister Lee
You need to talk to Mister Lee for a solution
Now Lee's a big ole' cat
Lee is a significant and influential person
With a big ole' baseball bat
Describing Lee as a powerful figure with authority
All he wants is plenty dough-re-mi
All Lee desires is a lot of money
Now the kids they want to ball
The younger generation wants to have fun and dislikes the end of the night
And they hate to hear last call
The annoyance of the last call, signaling the end of the night
Time to go and check on Mr. Lee
Checking on Mr. Lee is a priority at this time
And we'll find a place where we can sing out
Searching for a place where they can express themselves freely
Whoa, everybody knows
A repeated exclamation of excitement or emphasis
Well if you're thirsty after three
If you're still thirsty after 3 a.m.
Got to talk to Big boss Lee
You need to talk to Big Boss Lee for a solution
