So I thought I'd learned my lesson
 But I secretly expected
 choir at the shore
 And confetti through the fall night air

 I'll make a living telling people what they want to hear
 It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear

 It's not a perfect plan
 It's not a perfect plan
 But it's the one we've got

 It's not a perfect plan
 But it's the one we've got

 Cause I make a living telling people what they want to hear
 But I tell ya, it's gonna be a champagne year
