Just Another Clackless Eve

(to the tune of "It's Just Another New Year's Eve"
co-written by Barry Manilow and Marty Panzer
co-rewritten by Julie and Cella)

Don't look so sad
It's not so bad, you know
It's just a couple months
That's all it is
He needs to rest
To be his best, you know
He's given us so much
Let's give him this

We've gathered clack
And gathered good friends, too
Enough to fill our time
And our hard drives
We've got enough
To help each other through
Clay's giving us the chance
To organize

It's just another clackless eve
Another night we'll just make do
It's just another clackless eve
The Broads will pull through
We've got our famous jois de vivre
A trove of love and lust divine
So when we're through
This Clay-drought, you'll see
We'll be just fine

We're not alone
Remember in '03
We watched him in Times Square
On MTV
This time's for Clay
To celebrate his way
Which might mean spending time
With Broads "virtually"

It's just another time to spend
Just reminiscing with the chicks
Another couple months of laughs
And clickety-clicks
But while we're here, not watching him
While we dissect, dream, and discuss
When he's alone
This New Year he might
Be watching US.
