Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think we need an agent (We?) That's selling out
But it's nice to dream
Yeah, it's network TV, and it's all thanks to me
Somehow I think I smelled a whiff of a scheme (Me too)
[Verse 2]
We could plan another protest (We?)
This time you can shoot from the start, you'll direct, starring me
[Verse 3]
Five, four, three
Open sesame, happy New Year
Happy New Year
Happy New
[Verse 4]
I see that you've beaten me to the punch
How did you know we'd be here?
I had a hunch (You're not mad?)
I'm here to end this war
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door
[Verse 5]
Why all of a sudden the big about face?
The credit is yours, you made a good case
(What case?) Mimi came to see me and she had much to say
That's not how you put it at all yesterday
I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess
Mark, you'll want to get this on film (I guess)
[Verse 6]
I regret the unlucky circumstances of the past seven days
Circumstance? You padlocked our door
And it's with great pleasure on behalf of Cyber Arts
That I hand you this key (Golf claps)
I had no juice in my battery (Reshoot)
I see this is a photo opportunity
[Verse 7]
The benevolent God ushers the poor artists back to their flat
Were you planning to take down the barbed wire from the lot?
And let those people back in?
Anything but that
[Verse 8]
Mimi, since your ways are so seductive (You came onto me)
Persuade him not to be so counter-productive (Liar!)
Why not tell them what you wore to my place? (I was on my way to work)
Black leather and lace, my desk was a mess, I think I'm still sore
'Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore
Does your boyfriend know who your last boyfriend was?
I'm not her boyfriend, I don't care what she does
[Verse 9]
People, is this any way to start a new year
Have compassion, Benny just lost his cat
My dog, but I appreciate that
My cat had a fall, and I went through hell
It's like losing a, how did you know that she fell?
Champagne? (Don't mind if I do, to dogs) No, Benny, to you
[Verse 10]
Let's make a resolution (I'll drink to that)
Let's always stay friends (Though we may have our disputes)
Family tree's got deep roots (Friendship is thicker than blood)
That depends
[Verse 11]
Depends on trust
Depends on true devotion
Depends on love
Depends on not denying emotion
Perhaps
[Verse 12]
It's gonna be a happy new year
I guess
It's gonna be a happy new year
You're right
It's gonna be a happy new year
Yeah ha, ha
[Verse 13]
I'm sorry
Coming?
In a minute
I'm fine, go
Well, well, well
What have we here?
It's gonna be a happy new year
