Let us prepare old man to celebrate New Year's Day
I'll cook some good meat pie, some good old times stew
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Paint your cutter, go shoe your mare
We'll go see your sister way down the fifth range
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Go buy a wig, get some teeth
You just got me to flirt with, but you'd be cuter
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Remember to tell your Uncle Nazaire to be there on New Year's Day
Show him your moves, how you danced when you were young
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Don't lose your head like two years ago
You started sobering up when you had no more money
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Some of us will have a drink and enjoy these times
Today, life is costly, everyone works
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
Some smell of pipe and some smell of onions
I'll tell you right now, most smell of booze
On New Year's Day, let's hold hands, let's kiss
It's a good time to celebrate, it happens just once a year
