The older my acquaintance gets,
The more I am inclined
To skip the noise on New Year's Eve,
and be in bed by nine.
I'm yawning as the party starts,
and nodding as we dine
The ball has dropped and so have I,
for I'm in bed by nine.
Let's be in bed by nine, my dear,
let's be in bed by nine,
We'll celebrate at half past eight,
an be in bed by nine!
