I've been bidin' my time
'cause I ain't got a dime
And I'm lonesome.
When I finally get back
I'll unwind and unpack
Till my friends come

Cheer up, keep your head held high,
Anticipation in this awesome august sky
The stars are a glow, the summer is here
Maybe I'll enjoy it, next year

When I look at this view I see traces of you
And I look hard
I've been sleeping a lot
In the hammock we got for our front yard

I get up, keep my head to the sky
I sing my favorite tunes till my throat feels dry
An orchestra stick within my ear
Maybe I'll enjoy it, next year

I eat my salad and drink my beer
I've had a good financial year
Raving reviews of my big premiere
I fell in love with a princess from Zair

I'm taking the great frontier
I got a mansion with a chandelier
I broke my neck but it's not the beer
Maybe I'll enjoy it,
I guess that I'll enjoy it next year

Improvisation

Cheer up, keep your head held high,
Anticipation in this awesome august sky
The stars are a glow, the summer is here
Maybe I'll enjoy it, next year

I get up, keep my head to the sky
Sing my favorite tunes till my throat gets dry
An orchestra stick within my ear
Maybe I'll enjoy it,
I guess that I'll enjoy it next year
