Lyrics
(French folk tune, Lyrics by John Erwin, publ. 1921)
1. To all people in the world this day,
New Year’s greetings we send on their way,
New Year, New Year, Wish you happy New Year!
Here at home or living far away.
2. Sailors sailing in their ships at sea,
Soldiers all wherever you may be,
New Year, New Year, Wish you happy New Year!
May your New Year very joyful be!
3. Miners digging underneath the ground,
Workmen toiling where the wheels turn round,
New Year, New Year, Wish you happy New Year!
Everybody all the world around.
