Michael Franks - The Way We Celebrate New Year's lyrics
Your rating:
Out of all the ways there are To spend the holidays Only ones a cure for the blues Just renew that perfect groove With the one you love At home by the fire How can you lose? On the year's last night Who cares if Christmas was white When we're in our igloo alone I prefer your kiss to schnapps While the popcorn pops And Bird reinvents the saxophone Comes the countdown Soon the ball will drop We climb love's mountain Listening to bebop Take me to the top Please don't ever stop The way we celebrate New Years For excitement We don't need champagne Snow-bound, love-lucked How can we complain? People think we're strange But lets never change The way we celebrate New year's what we first got hitched When invited we never missed The chance to hang socially Now we quench our thirst At home every thirty-first Reclusive as Salinger, J.D. When the snowman sing Last night deep in the snowfall I thought I heard someone singing Some happy tune very snowissimo Staring out through the stormdoor I saw no one but the snowman We made a few days ago Now I know When it snows then the Snowman sings Lights his pipe and he blows smoke rings Plays his icicle vibraphone Just to postpone the approach of Spring When it snows then the Snowman Sings And the song that he sings goes something like this As I recall, something like this: "How I do treasure this low pressure How euphorically hip is this frozen precip There's no other manifestation of crystal perfection In all of creation like snow That I know of One thing I miss is a missus So make me one, please A Snowwoman my own with whom I can happily freeze When the wind blows sub-zero We'd be nicely equipped If you catch my drift"
