Now comes new year and others will
prompt you for high aims to fulfill
For promises to mend your ways
for three hundred and some odd days
Don't set your target for the year
while influenced by drinking beer
For any target set this way
will vanish by the light of day
Don't set your aim or sights too high
for as the weeks and months go by
and any hope of success goes
your sense of failure grows and grows
Don't set your aim by other's measure
For notions that your friend may treasure
may be quite meaningless to you
and come between and split you two
The best advice that I can give
to help you through this year. To live
in knowledge that each promise won't
be kept at all is simply Don't
