Chinese New Year

|Here Come The New Years |Lion Dance Song |

|(to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm") |(to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb") |

|Here come the new years |See the lion dance and prance, |

|Marching round, E-I-E-I-O |Dance and prance, dance and prance. |

|And one of the years |See the lion dance and prance |

|Is the year of the Rat, E-I-E-I-O |On Chinese New Year's Day. |

|With a squeak, squeak here, |Hear the firecrackers pop, |

|And a squeak, squeak there, |Pop,pop,pop; pop,pop,pop |

|Here a squeak, there a squeak, |Hear the firecrackers pop |

|Everywhere a squeak, squeak. |On Chinese New Year's Day. |

|Here come the new years | |

|Marching round, E-I-E-I-O. | |
