There’s a new year comin’
I don't know about you
But I’m prayin for the best
Can’t risk deja vu
I'll hang lemons in doorways
Avoid cryin' cats
If we have a party,
Keep the bed free of hats
If you want good luck and prosperity
You better eat your collard greens and your black-eyed peas
Call me superstitious, call me a fool
But a bad luck year just sounds too cruel
Eat twelve grapes
Open the doors
When the clock strikes twelve,
Kiss the one you adore
If you’re looking for love
And a steamy New Year
Make yourself a wish
While wearin' red underwear
If you want good luck and prosperity
You better eat your collard greens and your black-eyed peas
Call me superstitious, call me a fool
But a bad luck year just sounds too cruel
You better skip the lobster
That backwards crawl
Could really set you back
And be your downfall
If you can find a way,
Then repair your shoes
Put some money in your wallet
Fill your cupboards with food
If you want good luck and prosperity
You better eat your collard greens and your black-eyed peas
Call me superstitious, call me a fool
But a bad luck year just sounds too cruel
