Song about New Year īs Resolutions
 
Hello everyone!  I wonder if you can help me.  I have been working on īwill � and īwon īt with my 14 year old students, and I īd like to get them to write about their New Year īs Resolutions.  Do you know any song (or even a poem) I could use to introduce the subject?
I īd be very grateful for your help!
Happy Holidays!
Amy

CHECK THIS VIDEO IT IS VERY GOOD AND I HAVE USED IT THIS YEAR WITH STUDENTS, THEY LOVED IT.

working out, losing weight
maybe using tanning spray
becoming more attractive in general

reading more, watching less
learning all the rules for chess
becoming somewhat smarter in general
eating fish, not fingernails
volunteer to save the whales
becoming a better guy in general
saving more, spending less
yes I will wax my chest
dating more girls in general

Bridge C Bb F
But not this year. No this year is different!
As different as a gazelle. Yes, a gazelle from a deer. (Theyīre actually not that different.)
After all these failed resolutions. Bb C Bb C
My future is clear, the future is near!

Chorus: F A Bb C
Just forget those resolutions you
know that you are never gonna do
and adopt a more realistical view
by committing to things that come easily to you
like eat at least one value meal a week
or put the correct shoes on the correct feet
Bb C F
just "Raise the bar to walk effortlessly underneath!"

Chorus2:
Just face the fact youīve always thought
those resolutions donīt mean squat
Settle in to a comfortable spot
embrace all the things you know you are not.
Hit the snooze, roll over, then repeat
Make large purchases, then lose the receipts
just "Raise the bar to walk effortlessly underneath!"

New Year īs Resolution Song

Hello
 
I usually introduce the subject with Adrian Mole īs resolutions in his diary ( the very first page of the book ) It īs not a poem but a short text /list ; I sometimes compare them with Bridget Jones īs .
 Was that any help ?
