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 oh
The best things are always gone in the blink of an eye
The [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 'em 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 [bad word] boys beating oh oh oh oh
Yeah, oh oh oh oh
