rose bowl

on the first day of the new year

morning

january first

this past year wasn't great

and i think its getting worse

set for better homes and gardens

in an empty parking lot

all the places are set

but there's something else that's not

words without a care

you could make a home of anywhere

give me eyes to see

there's nowhere on earth i'd rather be

in a setting so outrageous

with your uncle flagging down

football fans passing through

in his paisley dressing gown

on the first day of the new year

under pasadena rays

you can sure make a fuss

of these happy holidays

words without a care

you could make a home of anywhere

give me eyes to see

there's nowhere on earth i'd rather be
