Lyrics Mame: It's Today - Angela Lansbury & Mame Ensemble

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
In the world game,
So this whole game′s
What we make.
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!
