Here's a song for a brilliant new year
a year where there will be no more pain or fear
here's a song for a peaceful new year
a year where there will be no sorrow or tears
here's a song for the year of the monkey
the year the money-people
won't sing out of key

Here's a song for a fabulous new year
a year when all the soldiers work will disappear
here's a song for a cheerful new year
when presidents walk about in their morning robes
here's a cheer for the year of the monkey
the year when politicians
all get funky

Here's a song for an excellent new year
a year every kid can grow long hair
here's a song for a safe and loving year
a year when no one, no more get to drink no more stale beer
here's a salut for the year of the monkey
the year when war's redundant
we've gained equality
