Happy New Year baby
Happy New Year to you
another year to drive me crazy
another year to make me blue
I tried to wish you Merry Christmas
but was something I couldn't do
so instead a Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you
the life we led was almost perfect
but perfect never does come true
there's always some despoiling defect
no matter what you think you knew
remember when we were so happy
one plus one was always two
but now one minus one is zero
Happy New Year to you
I'm gonna go and rip the night
get so drunk they'll have to sweep me off the floor
roll me up just like a cigarette
and toss me out the open door
I feel so stupid singing this song
I know you just don't wanna hear
but don't you worry it's not too long
but I just wanna make it clear
another year without a reason
another year or maybe two
my heart commits another treason
Happy New Year to you
