Pass the peanuts Get the ice out Roll the rug up It's today Though it may not be anyone's birthday And though it's far from the first of the year I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here! It's a time for making merry And I'm for making hay Tune the grand up Dance your shoes off Strike the band up It's today! Light up the candles Fill the punch bowl Throw confetti It's today Life can also be lived on a weekday So don't depend on a holiday date If you need New Year's to bubble Then order a double and wait I wait There's a "thank you" you can give life If you live life all the way Call the cops out Hold the roof down Pull the stops out It's today!
