Lyrics

(Thank you. Thank you, thanks to all of you that
They journeyed
A lot of you journeyed from a long way
And a lot of you came from Brooklyn, so,
I'm winning
Sydney, I love you)
So, light the candles
(My mantra. This is what I believe in)
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
(All the way, it's a long rug)
It's today
Though it may not be anyone's birthday
And though it's far from the first of the year
I know that this very minute has history in it
We're here!
It's the time for
Making merry
And so, I'm for
Making hay
Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Stretch the band up
It's today
I know every day is a winner
To me, every day is a gift
I'm sure that the very momentum of life
Has to move so you'll prove that it's nifty
To me, every night, it's a party
And each new night, it's a ball
So, get out there
Grab a heart and start
To live, love, and laugh at it all
There is a thank you
You can give life
If you live life
All the way
So, raise the roof up
Pull the stops out
Pour the scotch out
It's today
And we're still living.
And we're will gang
Still raising hell gang
In our special way
Tune the grand up
Get your shoes off
Strike the band up
Brush the blues off
Hallelujah, it's today
