This year has been a good year,

Even Maria agrees.

She swears that in a few years,

She'll be the next big thing.

They don't believe her, but I let her keep dreaming.

This is the season of a lifetime passing you by.

The fat man is singing oh oh oh oh

The best things are always gone in the blink of an eye

The drummer boys beating oh oh oh oh

This year has been a good year,

I don't think Johnny agrees.

Christine the girl of his dreams,

Decided to cut him free.

He says he's fine, although his heart thinks differently.

This is the season of a lifetime passing you by.

The fat man is singing oh oh oh oh

The best things are always gone in the blink of an eye

The drummer boys beating oh oh oh oh

Next year we'll be better, they always say

Next year the sun will shine our way

This year has been a good year,

That's what their all telling me.

They swear that this is our year

we're going to make it big

I'd like to believe them, so I let 'em keep dreaming.

This is the season of a lifetime passing you by.

The fat man is singing oh oh oh oh

The best things are always gone in the blink of an eye

The drummer boys beating oh oh oh oh

Yeah, oh oh oh oh [x4]
