This track is the fourth song on Blum’s best-selling “Every Time You Go Somewhere” album. Remastered and rerecorded in 2016 (possibly to reflect Blum’s feelings on the outcome of the 2016 U.S. election), the lyrics in the new recording remain the same.
[Verse 1]
It's a happy new year
I'm making guacamole
You couldn't even pick up the fucking phone and call me
I don't like my T-shirt
I don't like my blue jeans
I don't like my attitude, but it's gonna be a party
[Hook]
Whoa-oh
Let's party
[Verse 2]
It's a happy new year
Last year was so stupid
Most of us were drunk and even more of us were puking
Though I heard a rumour
Something about bad shrimp?
Don't know how I made it up the stairs to your apartment
[Hook]
Whoa-oh
I remember it
Whoa-oh
Climbing up to bed
Whoa-oh
I remember it
I remember it
[Chorus 1]
And that's not all that I'm forgetting
It's a new year, the last one's ending
Don't know how I ever made it out
Here's to nothing ever changing
If it were, then I'd be parting ways
With all the bad habits I found
But I still hang around
I still hang around
I still hang around
I still hang around
[Verse 3]
It's a happy new year
I'm eating guacamole
You kissed me at midnight 'cause you thought that I looked lonely
I don't like my outfit
I guess it's not important
'Cause I like your four-track and the things you record on it
[Verse 4]
It's the time of year now
To keep your close ones closest
We'll be friends forever
And I don't care if you know it
It's a happy new year
Unlike all the rest
Feels like I am changing and I know it's for the best
[Hook]
Whoa-oh
I remember that
Whoa-oh
Climbing up to bed
Whoa-oh
I remember that
I remember that
[Chorus 2]
And that's not all that I'm pretending
It's a new year, the last one's ending
And all the guacamole I made browned
Here's to always ever-changing
Circumstances we're arranging
Throwing all our cautions to the ground
They only weigh you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
[Verse 5]
Hey, did you know you can check the time
Your call reaches the other line?
Hey, did you know that I know you lied?
So board it up and don't even try
Last year is ending just in time
I got out alive
I got out alive
I got out alive
[Bridge]
It's a happy new year
Here I am again
Riding in my car, and this time I can't pretend
That we are friends- we're not friends
Friends don't do the things we did
And the ones you've done since then
Makes think we've never been
When is this night gonna end?
Are you lying in her bed?
All these questions in my head
Hey, where's the whiskey at again
You are discombobulated
When you show up at my door
Leaving glitter on my floor
But I don't like you anymore
[Outro]
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
No, I don't like you anymore
