lyrics

Your New Years party sounds cool
But I’ve got some other plans
A party put on by a man
They call New Years Steve
You just wouldn’t believe

It’s invitation only
to his penthouse level apartment
perched over the escarpement
it’s the best view in the world

There’s a chocolate fountain you can wade right into,
And everything is smeared with caviar,
And if you don't have a ride
He'll send out a car,

You gotta believe
in New Year’s Steve
The sun’s coming up but you won’t wanna leave
His name is New Year’s Steve

The music won’t be too loud
but it won’t be too quiet either
and if you have to take a breather
there’s a sweet patio

I saw Scarlett Johanson
Dancing with Ted Danson
I heard Marilyn Manson
didn’t get in

There’s a fireworks show every half an hour
He flew in Elton John to sing just one song
and he built a time machine
in case anything goes wrong

You gotta believe
in New Year’s Steve
if you got headache, he’s got some Aleve
His name is New Year’s Steve

And the ball will drop from one mile up
Everyone will drink from a solid gold cup
And when you taste the champagne it’ll blow your mind
you know you gotta get there on time!
for New Years Steve

When the clock finally strikes midnight
Everyone will have someone to kiss
Even that weird guy with a lisp
Steve has seen to that

And as the ball goes down
and everyone begins to cheer
only one man can’t hear
It’s New Years Steve
He’s alone in his room
Thinking about next year

He’s all alone...
Thinking about next year...

You gotta believe
in New Year’s Steve
In a life full of pain it’s our only reprieve
A greater party humankind has yet to conceive
If you think you can throw a better party you’re being naive
he brought Dick Clark back to life for New Years Rockin Eve
Don’t bring your dog, that’s his only pet peeve
Just thinking about it now makes it hard to breathe
He even sewed back that missing button on my sleeve
So I recommend you get down on your knees
And say thanks to New Years Steve!
