LYRICS
Well the Knicks lost big to Cleveland
At the Garden Friday night
So I wandered down Eighth Avenue
To get a little tight
Got into a little scuffle
All because of Willis Reed
Now there’s one more bar in New York
I can’t get me what I need
One by one
The doors are closing
One by one
They’re shutting down
One by one
The word is spreading
One by one
All over town
One by one
My many options
One by one
They’re coming down
Dropping off like flies
One by one
Well I had a job last summer
Writing copy for the Post
The hours were a bummer
The pay was worse than most
Missed a couple deadlines
And I got the bum’s rush
Another golden opportunity
Turned to mush
One by one
The doors are closing
One by one
They’re shutting down
One by one
The word is spreading
One by one
All over town
One by one
My many options
One by one
They’re coming down
Dropping off like flies
One by one
Well I lost my last ten dollars
On a long shot at the track
Hit on the exacta
I got seven hundred back
Now my rent is paid
I’ve got some groceries and some wine
One by one it all is working out
Everything is fine
One by one
The doors are closing
One by one
They’re shutting down
One by one
The word is spreading
One by one
All over town
One by one
My many options
One by one
They’re falling down
Dropping off like flies
One by one
One by one
The doors are closing
One by one
They’re shutting down
One by one
The word is spreading
One by one
All over town
One by one
My many options
One by one
They’re falling down
Dropping off like flies
One by one
