I'm tired of the same old same old
Runnin' around in a ragged car
Working for peanuts from eight to five
And drinking at the same old bar

I know I can do much better
With a brand new attitude
So hold on sister, meet a brand new mister
I'm going new

New as a silver dollar
That isn't worth a dime
New as this cold Corona
Bartender won't you bring me a lime?

Don't you know I've talked it over
All the way from ear to ear
I gave it a thunk and picked up some funk
And even had an extra beer

There's only one choice for me, it's true
Only one thing to do
Batten down the hatches and loosen the latches
I'm going new

Something old, something blue
Something I can grow into
I was five foot ten now I'm six foot two
There's only one thing that's left to do

I'm going new

New as a sixty Chevy
A two-tone Chevrolet
Check out this brand new Stetson
I shredded the old beret

Checkered pants in manic hues
I even got Chubby Checker shoes
Something old, something new
There's only one thing that I can do
