and I lay in my bed
with a herd of pink elephants
standing on my head.
I remembered the party,
the host of good cheer,
I remembered the opening
of a large keg of beer.
There was dancing and singing
some snacks passed my way,
but long before midnight
the room started to sway.
I thought I heard bells,
and a rousing good cheer
of wishes that I'd have
a Happy New Year!
After that things grew foggy,
til I woke up in bed,
with such a large headache
that I wished I was dead.
Next year will be different,
no party for me!
Just a soft drink, some popcorn,
and Dick Clark on TV!
Yes, I learned my lesson
when I woke up today --
if you party too hardy
you're going to pay!
It was the day after New Year
