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
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 them 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
Yeah, oh oh oh oh
Yeah, oh oh oh oh
Yeah, oh oh oh oh
