lyrics
This year will be different from the last
I’m gonna quit every bad habit and improve on my past
Right all the wrongs and change my evil ways
And I’ll get it all done in three hundred and sixty-five days
This year I’ll get serious about exercise
Wake up every morning and hit the gym
I’ll shrink my waist, tone my arms, never compromise
Be so fit not even Michael Phelps could take me in a competition
This year I’m gonna eat right, cut out all the junk
Pay attention to ingredients and the serving size
Eight glasses of water to stay hydrated and keep me from getting too drunk
And I’ll drink less beer, at least one less beer, cause I still need beer
This year I won’t be so forgetful, I’ll keep track of everything
Like your glasses, your iPod, your spare set of keys
Your phone, your passport, and your karate ring
I get it, it’s a problem, you’re so judgmental
This year I won’t be so judgmental, I’ll give back to society
Maybe sponsor a little tiny poor baby infant orphan child
I’ll pay it forward and not look down on charity
But I still won’t watch the commercials, cause Sarah McLachlan makes me sad
(Doo-bee-dum-dum-dum)
I’m not sure I can do it
But I’ve got three hundred and sixty-five tries
This year I’ll disconnect, get back to nature
Travel the world, get cultured, and learn a new language
Get up close and personal with a dangerous creature
Like being live bait for a great white shark…
This year I’ll go to the rainbow’s end and capture a leprechaun
He’ll grant me my wish of being abducted by aliens...
Where I’ll learn how to fly their coolest spaceship and become an alien pilot superhero that can astral project to multiple locations at the same time and solve every single crime!
Yeah, right, and this year I’ll absorb every piece of information online
(So it turns out)
This year, nothing really changed
We’re older, maybe wiser, but basically the same
We can try again, there’s always next year
And we’re in luck, next year is here!
