New Year, Leap Year
Here's Kathryn ...
The New Year waits
with bagpipe notes
fade fade fading
The New Year arrives
to the great old bell
dong dong donging
The New Year dances
to a fireworks beat
boom boom booming
The New Year leaps
with its extra day
for play play playing
with bagpipe notes
fade fade fading
The New Year arrives
to the great old bell
dong dong donging
The New Year dances
to a fireworks beat
boom boom booming
The New Year leaps
with its extra day
for play play playing
