I actually wrote the song first as well, it's 9 o'clock on a Saturday. That bit. Then I said, You know what? It needs some kind of an introduction to kind of set the mood and set the flavor.

Today, we're taking a break from the concerns and the bustle of the work-a-day world. But we're also making a new beginning.

High among them are our families, our freedom, and the opportunities of a new year.
Ronald Reagan
