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
No more fussing and fighting today

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
