Here Come The New Years
(to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm")
Here come the new years
Marching round, E-I-E-I-O
And one of the
years
Is the year of the Rat, E-I-E-I-O
With a squeak, squeak
here,
And a squeak, squeak there,
Here a squeak, there a
squeak,
Everywhere a squeak, squeak.
Here come the new
years
Marching round, E-I-E-I-O.

Happy Chinese New Year
"Gung Hay Fat Choy!"
In China, every girl and boy
Celebrates the
New Year
in a very special way -
With fireworks and
dragons,
colored red and gold -
They welcome in the new year
and
chase away the old!
