lyrics

That old familiar song
I sing it each year
It never takes long
It's all about the plans I have to change my habits
Throw the ball I swear I'll grab it
Resolution, resolution, resolution time

That old familiar crack
The balls going down
I'll have an attack
It's all about the mood I though I shook last time around
I should have kept my promise
Resolution, resolution, resolution time

(chorus)
So carry on the grand tradition
Tack the paper to the wall
Every New Year's resolution
Does no good at all
So tear the paper down and watch it fall

That old familiar lark
It's that time of night
With Mr. Dick Clark
They're gathered in the streets with Roman candles
I don't see how anybody handles
Resolution, resolution, resolution time

(chorus)

Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Remember what you promised to yourself
And raise a mug up to your lips
To ward off thoughts unkind
Swallow to protect your mental health

That old familiar game
I play it each year
It comes out the same
It's all about the plans I have to change my habits
Throw the ball I swear I'll grab it
Resolution, resolution, resolution time

(chorus)
