What Are You Doing New Year's Eve

Maybe it's much too early in the game

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

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?
