[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
