Don’t sing ‘auld lang syne’ for me, baby
I’m all alone on New Year’s Eve.  
Just got four walls and a goldfish
Here to keep me company.
Got a chest-full o’ heart-ache
Just thinkin’ ‘bout what used to be.

Ol’ landlord come a-knockin’
He’s tap-tap-tappin’ at my door.
Tol’ him I dropped a check in the mailbox
He says: ‘Man, I’ve heard that one before’.
Tells me I got two more days to pay up
Or he won’t be my landlord anymore.

Ever since my baby left me
I’ve been as sad as sad can be.
I’ve got only one companion,
His name is Mister Misery.
There ain’t no two ways about it,
Gotta scrounge up some better company.
