Happy New Year Baby

Happy New Year, baby
Happy New Year, nothin'
The way you treated me last year, wasn't nothin' happy about it
Yeah, baby, but that was last year
This year, I'm turnin' over a new leaf
I don't believe it
You don't? Well, pick up on this, child

Happy New Year, baby, Happy New Year to you
Happy New Year, baby, Happy New Year to you
Well, I made a resolution I'm gonna keep the whole year through
I'm gonna give up chasin' women, whiskey drinkin' too
Stop my ballyhooin', yes, and mistreatin' you

Happy New Year, baby, Happy New Year to you
Yes, I want plenty lovin' from nobody else but you
I'm gonna give you all my money to buy the things you choose
I'll even steal and borrow and pawn my clothes and shoes
To keep you happy, baby, happy the whole year through
'Cause I want plenty lovin' from nobody else but you

If you love me, sweet and pretty, I'll buy you a big brass bed
If I catch you cheatin', I'll fill you full of lead

Happy New Year, baby, Happy New Year to you
Well, I want plenty lovin' from nobody else but you, baby
Happy New Year, baby, Happy New Year to you
Happy New Year, daddy
Ha-ha, that's what I mean
