Let not this 12 months’s recollections
of disappointment or sleaze
Disturb you at the present time
simply give your coronary heart ease

Have religion that this New Yr
will convey a brand new signal
And consider in your self

Simply raise up your spirits
and a few fruit of the vine
And kiss ye a beloved one
and sing Auld Lange Syne

And late within the night
as you watch the ball fall
Want your self all one of the best
Blissful New Yr to All!!
