It’s Today
Jerry Herman
Pass the peanuts
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 I'm for making hay
Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Strike the band up
It's today
Light up the candles
Fill up the punch bowl
Throw confetti, yeah
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... awh... wait
Awh... there's a thank you
You can give life
If you live life
All the way
Call the cops out
Hold the roof down
Pull the stops out
It's today
