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

- instrumental ‘the party’s over’ -

The party’s over

- instrumental ‘it’s time to call it a day’ -

It’s time to call it a day

- instrumental - ‘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

I heard Dandy Don Meridith singing about the party being over on Monday Night Football all those years ago.

(I don’t think you could nickname a football player “Dandy” these days.)
