Lyrics

They’re closing the store today
They did their best
But it just didn’t play
They’re closing the store today
They’re closing the store today

Through the good times and the bad
Always service with a smile
Times have gone from bad to worse
Consequence of the internet’s curse
And they’re closing the store today
Closing the store today
Closing the store today
It just doesn’t pay

Loyalty is not rewarded
The webpage message prerecorded
Sorry to announce the closure
Good times last, and then they’re over
We’re closing the store today
Closing the store today
Closing the store today
It just doesn’t pay

They’re closing the store today
Business has moved online
Inevitable, some folk say
A sign of modern times

And they’re closing the store today
Closing the store today
Closing the store today
It just didn’t pay

Wow you have been so prolific already! This is lovely and mellow. Sound a bit Nick Pope. Calling out for some harmonies on the chorus. It is Sad stores are closing but I also am an introverted internet shopper .
