You just wait until next year
Justice will be done.
You'll be crying in the cellar
And we'll be number one.
Enjoy your temporary grandeur,
Dance and celebrate,
Cause we'll be drinking up the champagne
Next year, just you wait.
You just wait until next year
Oh won't that be rich
We'll be riding in a limo
And you'll be in the ditch.
We'll be carrying the trophy
You will kneel and bow
That's the way the cookie crumbles
Just one year from now.
You just wait until next year
See the mighty fall
Anaheim and San Francisco
Will give way to St. Paul.
We'll be O so cool and snazzy
High-toned and highbrow
We'll be sitting on the top of the world
Just one year from now.
