Jerry Herman - It's Today lyrics

[MAME] 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! [ALL] It's a time for Making merry And so I'm for Making hay [MAME] Tune the grand up Dance your shoes off Strike the band up It's today! [ALL] And we're living And we're well, gang So raise hell, gang While we may [MAME] Call the cops out Raise the rockets Pull the stops out [ALL] Pull out the stops It's today Light the candles Fill the punch bowl Throw confetti It's today [GIRLS] 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 [ALL] There's a "thank you" You can give life If you live life All the way Pull the stops out Hold the roof down [MAME] Fellows, watch out! [ALL] 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! [MAME] Light the sparklers Crash the cymbals Blow the bugle It's today Someone gave me a wonderful present Something I needed, and yet, never knew So start the whistling and clapping 'Cause under the wrapping was you And we'll give life Quite a tumble And we'll live life All the way! [ALL] Call the cops out Raise a racket Pull the stops out It's today!
