Lyrics
0:10Hey Gillis
0:11We'd given up on you
0:13Where you been keeping that gorgeous face of yours?
0:15In a deep freeze
0:17Jesus Joe what are you wearing?
0:20It's quite a crowd
0:22Yeah I invited all the kids doing walk-ons in DeMille's latest picture
0:25Where have you been hiding?
0:26I called your apartment
0:28I called your ex-agent
0:29I was about to call the Bureau of Missing Persons
0:32They always know where to find me
0:38By this time next year
0:41I'll have landed a juicy part
0:431950 will be my start
0:46No more carrying spears
0:50I'll be discovered
0:53My life won't ever be the same
0:56Billy Wilder will know my name
0:59And he'll call all the time
1:02'Til he does can one of you guys lend her
1:04A dime?
1:05Just an apartment
1:08With no roaches and no dry rot
1:11Where the hot water comes out hot
1:14That's my Hollywood dream
1:17Your resolution
1:20Is to write something that gets shot
1:23With approximately the plot
1:26I first had in my head
1:29But you'll get rewritten even after you're dead
1:34It's a year to begin a new life
1:36Find a place somewhere quiet
1:38Somewhere pretty
1:41When you have a young kid and a wife
1:43Then you need somewhere green far from the city
1:46It's rambling old house with a big apple tree
1:49With a swing for the kid and a hammock for me
1:53I have some good news
1:56It's Dark Windows
1:57You don't let go
1:59I gave Sheldrake an outline Joe
2:02And he's swallowed the bait
2:05Well hallelujah
2:08While you've been buying your fancy clothes
2:11I've been making a lot of notes
2:14Now there's work we should do
2:17Betty you're forgetting that I gave it
2:20To you
2:22You remind me of me long ago
2:25Off the bus full of ignorant ambition
2:29Thought I'd waltz into some studio and achieve overnight recognition
2:34I've seen too many optimists sinking like stones
2:38Felt them suck all the marrow clean out of my bones
2:42I love Dark Windows
2:45But I can't write it on my own
2:47Can't we speak on the telephone?
2:50All my evenings are free
2:54Hey just a minute
2:57I'm the fella who bought the ring
3:00Artie this is a business thing
3:03It's important to me
3:06You'll on location in Clinch Tennessee
3:11Please make this your New Year's resolution for me
3:18By this time next year
3:21I will get my foot in the door
3:24Next year I know I've gotta score
3:27An amazing success
3:30Cut to the moment
3:33When they open the envelope
3:36Pass the statuette to Bob Hope
3:39And it's my name you hear
3:43We'll be down on our knees
3:46Outside Grauman's Chinese
3:49Palm prints there on the street
3:52Immortality's neat
3:54This time next year
3:57This time next year
4:01We'll have nothing to fear
4:04Contracts all signed
4:06Three-picture deal
4:09Yellow brick road career
4:17Hope we're not still saying these things
4:20This time next year
4:30You know what I think I am available next year
4:32In fact I'm available right now
4:34Joe that's great
4:35Hey listen
4:36Can you put me up for a couple of weeks?
4:39It just so happens we have a vacancy on the couch
4:41I'll take it
4:43Yes?
4:43Max it's Mr. Gillis
4:44I want you to do me a favor
4:46I'm sorry I cannot talk now Mr. Gillis
4:47No listen I want you take my old suitcase
4:50I'm sorry I'm attending to madame
4:53What do you mean?
4:54She found a razor in your room and she cut her wrists
4:59Happy new year
5:01Should auld acquaintance be forgot
5:06And never brought to mind
5:11Should auld acquaintance be forgot
5:16And days of auld lang syne
5:21For auld lang syne my dear
5:26For auld lang syne
