Lucille Ball - It's Today lyrics

(From the 1974 movie "Mame") Mame: Light the candles, Get the ice out, Roll the rug up, It's today. Though it may not be anyone's birthday, And though it's far from the first of the year, I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here! All: It's a time for making merry, And so I'm for making hay. Mame: Tune the grand up, Dance your shoes off, Strike the band up, It's today! All: And we're living And we're well gang, So raise hell gang. While we make. Mame: Call the cops out, Raise the rackets, Pull the stops out, All: Pull out the stops, It's today Light the candles, Fill the punch bowl, Throw confetti, It's today. Girls: Life can also be lived on a weekday, So don't depend on a holiday date, If you need New Year's to bubble, Then order a double and wait. Doo doo doo doo dah All: There's a "thank you" you can give life, If you live life all the way. Pull the stops out, Hold the roof down, Mame: Fellows watch out, It's today. All: It's a time for making merry, And so I'm for making hay. Tune the grand up, Call the cops out, Strike the band up, Pull the stops out, Hallelujah! It's today!
