No more champagne, the fireworks are through,
Here we are, me and you, feeling lost and feeling blue.
It’s the end of the party and the morning seems so grey,
So unlike yesterday, now’s the time for us to say…
Happy New Year, Happy New Year, may we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend.
Happy New Year, Happy New Year, may we all have our hopes, our will to try,
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die.
