Skit Happens: New Year's Edition : ​New Year, New Year

Another song parody, one of those titles I'm shocked hadn't been done when I wrote this in 2011. Maybe it has been done since, but not by me.  And it's not like there's a ton of New Year's song parodies around, either.  But my radio peeps declined it, so here it is...

​New Year, New Year

​New Year, New Year
(to "New York, New York")

Start dropping the ball,
I’m starting today
I want to lose some extra weight
New year, New year

Cut back at the mall
Start saving my pay
I’m going to get a brand new date
New year, New year

I want to make up resolutions
That I can’t keep
To find another year gone,
Oh, I’m gonna weep

My lifestyle is stalled
Good habits at bay
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it
In this New Year.

If I can’t fix it then
I’ll have to try again
It’s up to me
Next year, next year!

I’ll do some push-ups at the YMCA
Quit smoking too,
I should make up a list
Cut back on snacks
Donate organs
Bid my porn adieu

My development’s stalled
My lifestyle has strayed
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it
In this New Year!
If I can’t make it then
I’ll have to start again
Come on, come through
New Year, New Year!
