Happy New Year

Happy New Year - Spike Jones & His City Slickers

This is my new year's resolution

When my mother in law begins

To yell and shout

Through the window

I would like to throw her out

But I resolve not to do

It here is why

I'm afraid of hitting

Someone passing by

This is my new year's resolution

When I'm at the movies

Watching a love scene

And a lady's hat is blocking

Half the screen

I resolve not to shout

Take off that hat

I'll remove it gently

With a baseball bat

This is my new year's resolution

When I take a lovely

Lady out to eat

And she orders caviar

Instead of meat

I resolve to let the

Lady have her fill

And of course I'll also

Let her pay the bill

This is my new year's resolution

When I'm sitting with

My wifey on a bus

And a dear old lady stands

In front of us

I resolve to be a

Gentleman discreet

I'll politely offer

Her my wifey's seat

This is my new year's resolution

When my mother says

Come in it's time to eat

And I keep on playing games

Out in the street

I resolve to rush right home

Now when I'm called

'Cause my pop just got a

Hairbrush and he's bald

This is my new year's resolution

On the radio this year

I hope to score

With some funny jokes

You've never heard before

I resolve not to

Tell a corny joke

Hello what's that the church

Burned down holy smoke

This is my new year's resolution

In this coming year

I'm gonna be discreet

Have the slickers playing

Music soft and sweet

I resolve to treat

Tchaikovsky tenderly

And set his second

Movement with T N T
