| I woke up this mornin' and opened up an eye
|
| With a cool kind’a buzz-on feelin' sorta high
|
| I jumped out’a bed like a son of a gun
|
| Then it clicked in my head it was 2 0 0 1
|
| I’m tellin' you, man
|
| It’s really true, man
|
| I feel like a new man
|
| (Yes I do)
|
| I’m gonna make a new plan
|
| With a new point of view, man
|
| I’m feelin' like a new man
|
| (Yes I am)
|
| (Whew-ew-ewh, I mean feelin' alright)
|
| Now I wrote this song while I was in the shower
|
| I had a dozen more in a matter of an hour
|
| Think what I could’ve done in the time it took
|
| I feel so good I might even write a book
|
| Tellin' you, man
|
| I’m not through, man
|
| Now I’m a new man
|
| (Yes I am)
|
| My life has a new span
|
| With a new point of view, man
|
| Feelin' like a new man
|
| (Yes I am)
|
| (bridge)
|
| New man
|
| Thinkin' like a new man
|
| Actin' like a new man
|
| Feelin' like a new man
|
| (Yes I am, Yeah)
|
| (Look out)
|
| (How 'bout a little new organ for you all right now)
|
| (Whoo-oo-ee, let me tell yall, I sure feel good)
|
| Now, I could figure out how to conquer outer space
|
| Stop global warming and save the human race
|
| Balance up the budget and get us out of debt
|
| Have it all down pat without workin' up a sweat
|
| Tellin' you, man
|
| It’s the least I can do, man
|
| Now that I’m a new man
|
| (That's what I am, Yea-hu-huh)
|
| An' you can do it too, man
|
| Have a new point of view, man
|
| And you can be a new man
|
| (Yes you can)
|
| (Now wait just a minute
|
| There’s one more thing I want’a say before I go)
|
| Why don’t we stop this fightin' and try a little peace
|
| It’s a big waste of time don’t you think it ought’a cease
|
| We could talk to each other and try to get along
|
| If we help one another how can we go wrong
|
| I’m tellin' you, man
|
| That a new point of view can
|
| Be the birth of a new man
|
| (Yes it can)
|
| Now if you wonder who can
|
| The answer is you, man
|
| You can be a new man
|
| (Yes you can)
|
| So If you’re feelin' blue, man
|
| Just find a dream to persue, man
|
| And you can be a new man
|
| (Don't you know you can)
|
| You can be a new man
|
| Acting like a new man
|
| Livin' like a new man
|
| Feelin' like a new man
|
| I want’a tell you that you can
|
| Be a new man |
