Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCDDC EEFFE GGBBG| How many have you broken up till now | A |
| I know that yesterday you made a vow | A |
| And most solemnly 'twas spoken | B |

| Oh you kept 'em for an hour or two But How | A |
| - | |
| You swore at twelve o'clock or thereabouts | C |
| Most resolutely scorning any doubts | C |
| That the glad New Year would find you | D |
| With your vices all behind you | D |
| And you'd be the very best of good boy scouts | C |

| Ah well at least you had the will to try | G |
| And you may reform some day before you die | G |
| And there's this small consolation | B |
| On the road to reformation | B |
| There's another New Year coming by and by | G |
