I've been bidin' my time
'cause I ain't got a dime
and I'm lonesome
when I finally get back
I'll unwind and unpack
till my friends come
cheer up keep your head held high
anticipation in this awesome
august sky
the stars are aglow
the summer is here
maybe I'll enjoy it next year
when I look at this view
I see traces of you when I look hard
I've been sleeping a lot
in the hammock we got
for our front yard
I get up keep my head to the sky
I sing my favourite tune
till my throat feels dry
an orchestra's ticklin' in my ear
maybe I'll enjoy it next year
I eat my salad and drink my beer
I've had a good financial year
raving reviews of my big premiere
I fall in love with a princess
from zaire
I'm takin' the great frontier
I got a mansion with a chandelier
I broke my neck but it's not severe
maybe i'll enjoy it
I guess that I'll enjoy it next year
cheer up keep your head held high
anticipation in this awesome
august sky
the stars are aglow
the summer is here
maybe I'll enjoy it next year
I get up keep my head to the sky
I sing my favourite tune
till my throat feels dry
an orchestra's ticklin' in my ear
maybe I'll enjoy it
i guess that I'll enjoy it
maybe I'll enjoy it next year
