Light the candles, get the ice out, roll the rug up, it's today.
Though it may not be anyone's birthday, and though it's far from the first of the year,
I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here.
It's a time for making merry, and so I'm for making hay.
Tune the grand up, dance your shoes off,
strike the band a new tune, dance your shoes off,
it's today.
