It was after midnight had come That the new year had begun It was time man to drink some rum Celebrate all the new things to come Man say you want to live a brand new life Sing a new song old habits must die I know you want to try and try But when you say that it can't be no lie Man you must try and change your ways Cause if you don't it might be too late Bring the new year and happy days Stop this fussing and fighting today
