New Year's Eve / Auld Lang Syne (Celebration) (Live 2000)

[Intro]

If you look behind you

You can see in the monitors the time

Look at this, you see?

One minute and forty-eight seconds left

To the new year, it's happening

Is everybody ready for this?

Yes?

Honey, honey, you wanna come up?

I want you to be with me when, when the clock strikes twelve

My husband, ladies and gentlemen

Yes

Ladies and gentlemen

Now I'd like to introduce the master of rhythm

And the man of the hour, Brother Time

Come and take us to the other side, okay?

Oh my God

Oh, one minute and one second

Fifty-six seconds, fifty-five, four

Fifty-two, fifty, forty-eight

Forty-six, forty-four, forty-two

Forty, yeah

Thirty-six, thirty-four, thirty-two

Thirty, twenty-eight, twenty-six

Twenty-four, twenty-two, twenty

Eighteen, sixteen, oh, fourteen

Twelve, ten, nine

Eight, seven, six

Five, four, three

Two, one

Happy new year!

[Verse]

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And days for auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld lang syne

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Are the luckiest people in the world

Yes!

I wanted everything to be the best for you tonight

So, please help me thank the very best cast

Randee Heller and Alec Ledd

Our beautiful choir

Our tireless crew who worked very hard

Our wonderful background singers, Peggi, Kellie and Bridgett

Our youngest discovery

The glorious voiced, gorgeous Lauren Frost, who plays mini-me

And our brilliant timekeeper, musician

And dancer extraordinaire, Savion Glover

Beautiful

I'd also like to thank

The distinguished members of the orchestra, please stand

Aren't they wonderful?

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

And of course, finally, my Pulitzer Prize-winning conductor

And dear friend, Marvin! Marvin Hamlisch!

Happy new year, honey

My guys, good guys
