(Melanie Safka) What do you do when the people go home

And what do you do when the show is all done

I know what I'll do in the alone of my time

But what will I do with the leftover wine

A line from a poem of my childhood has said

That visions of sugarplums were gonna dance in my head

I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme

But I'll still have a bowl of leftover wine

I'll spend my whole life making the time rhyme

And then I'll sing them a song of mine

You know I'm gonna do anything

Just to take up time

Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine

(and) what do you do when the people go home

And what do you do when the show is all done

I know what I'll do in the alone of my time

But what will I do with the leftover wine

I'm gonna spend my whole life making the time rhyme

And then I'm gonna run to the people

And I'll sing them a song of mine

You know I'm gonna do anything

Just to take up time

Cause I can't find a taker for the leftover wine

I'll drink some of yours

If you'll drink all of mine

Because I can't stand the taste of that leftover wine

And I'm gonna drink some of yours

If you'll drink all of mine

Because I can't stand the taste of leftover wine

And I'll drink some of yours

If you'll drink all of mine

I can't stand the taste of leftover wine
