Mame: It's Today

Light the candles
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
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 a time for
Making merry
And so I'm for
Making hay

Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Strike the band up
It's today!

And we're living
And we're well, gang
So raise hell, gang
While we may

Call the cops out
Raise the rockets
Pull the stops out
(Pull out the stops)
It's today

Light the candles
Fill the punch bowl
Throw confetti
It's today

Life can also be lived on a weekday
So don't depend on a holiday date
If you need New Year's to bubble
Then order a double and wait
Doo doo doo doo dah

There's a "thank you"
You can give life
If you live life
All the way
Pull the stops out
Hold the roof down

Fellows, watch out!

It's today

It's a time for
Making merry
And so I'm for
Making hay

Tune the grand up
Call the cops out
Strike the band up
Pull the stops out
Hallelujah!
It's today!

Light the sparklers
Crash the cymbals
Blow the bugle
It's today

Someone gave me a wonderful present
Something I needed, and yet, never knew
So start the whistling and clapping
'Cause under the wrapping was you

And we'll give life
Quite a tumble
And we'll live life
All the way!

Call the cops out
Raise a racket
Pull the stops out
It's today!
