(What are you gonna do on
New Year’s Eve?)

BRENDAN (GRUMPY GUY):
Late for work
Now I’m working late
The boss said please
I’ve got to please the boss

I phone the man
I’ve got to man those phones
Gotta check those facts
Gotta fax those checks

And I’ve gotta fix that printer
It’ll be another late night
I will get through this winter
Without a ray of daylight
I volunteered to stay late
There’s no need to deny it
Time-and-a-half my pay rate
And peace and quiet

On the last day of the year
On the last day of the year

(What are you gonna do on
New Year’s Eve?)

I’m almost done
Now I’ve done it all
I’m the last one out
I’m out at last

I go through the crowd
Now I’m crowding through
I stare them down
While I go down the stairs

(Please stand clear of the
closing doors
Please stand clear of the
closing doors)

And strangers talk to strangers
Where did all these people
slink from?
Bubbling like champagne, they’re
On their way to drink some

On the last day of the year
On the last day of the year

Look how fast this year’s gone by
Spring has somehow slipped away
I barely saw the summer sky
Autumn seems like yesterday
I never read those top-ten books
I never took that trip to France
Did nothing to improve my looks
I never learned to salsa dance
I didn’t be all I could be
I didn’t see all I could see
I didn’t call on Mother’s Day
I cannot wash my sins away
And I would not dwell on the past
If time would not go by so fast
I can’t believe already it’s
the last day...of the year

(What are you gonna do on
New Year’s Eve? )

I'll step it up
I'll go up the steps
And there’s a sidewalk push
And I am pushed aside
(Last day of the year)
I got to keep my grip
I got to grip my keys
While I head for home
Oh, my head

On the last day of the year
Last day of the year
(What are you gonna do on
New Year’s Eve?)
