We all do them every year
to stop drinking too much beer
lose some weight go to the Gym
take up cycling go for a swim.
Be more caring be more kind
learn a new skill open the mind
get to know the neighbour next door
do voluntary work and help the poor.
Stop smoking and eating crap food
be more patient, tolerant, less rude,
learn to listen instead of just talk
and take the dog out for a daily walk.
Try to get to work early instead of late
smarten yourself up you look like a state
get your teeth whitened they look really bad
stop dancing at parties you look silly and sad.
And stop wasting money be thrifty and save
take up a daring hobby climb or go down a cave
go on that trip before it's too late
and pluck up the courage and ask her out for a date.
But alas resolutions don't last very long
our willpowers weak and not very strong
our resolve quickly breaks and begins to sag
and in a week your having a drink and a crafty fag!
