Here Come The New Years (to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb")
(to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm") See the lion dance and prance,
Dance and prance, dance and prance.
Here come the new years See the lion dance and prance
Marching round, E-I-E-I-O On Chinese New Year's Day.
And one of the years
Is the year of the Cow, E-I-E-I-O Hear the firecrackers pop,
With a moo, moo here, Pop,pop,pop; pop,pop,pop
And a moo, moo there, Hear the firecrackers pop
Here a moo, there a moo, On Chinese New Year's Day.
Everywhere a moo, moo.
Here come the new years Chinese Hello Song
Marching round, E-I-E-I-O.
(to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")
