New Year's Eve

about

The melody for this song has always seemed too familiar for me, but I've never been able to place it. (If you have any hints, don't hesitate to send them to champagneorslimfast@gmail.com)

lyrics

It's New Year's Eve
And it makes me want to grieve
Because away a year has passed
And for me it has gone to fast

How'd I get here
And what happened to the year
It seems a real short time ago
That it was going much too slow

Down a long road I have winded
And I'll need to be reminded
Not to write this year on papers
It's no more, it's one year later

Now and then I feel the yearning
For the spring to be returning
But when it reaches May
Will I waste it like today?

It's New Year's Eve
And the snow has stripped the leaves
I need to shovel up my yard
And write some thank-you Christmas cards

The year's complete
And the drunkards fill the streets
And they're all howling at the moon
Singing Auld Lang Syne out-of-tune

Down a long road I've been speeding
But I fear I've been misleading
Cuz new years seldom end an era
There's no need for such hysteria

Everybody is pretending
That today the world is ending
But when the ball drops
I know that nothing's gonna stop

It's New Year's Eve
And I still cannot believe
It seems I'm living in the past
Cuz nothing ever really lasts

How'd I get here
And what happened to the year?
It seems a real short time ago
That it was going much too slow

We're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
Until we make ourselves sound witty
We're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
Until we drop
We're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
Until the ugly girls look pretty
We're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
Until the pretty girls look hot

We're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
A few too many
Yeah, we're gonna drink drink drink drink drink
Right down the drain
And then we'll puke puke puke puke puke puke puke
Until we're empty
We're gonna puke puke puke puke puke
Until we fill back up again
