What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve
1947 Frank Loesser
When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it’s much
too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought
I’d ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year’s New Year’s eve?
Wonder whose arms
will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly
twelve o’clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year New Year’s eve
Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year’s New Year’s Eve?
