Lyrics
(Music by Mildred J. Hill, Lyrics by Emilie Poulsson)
Slowly & solemnly
Ding dong ding, in solemn chime
Bells rang out the midnight time,
“Ding dong ding, Goodbye,”
They said to the old year as it fled.
Much faster & cheerily
Chiming on, their ding dong ding
Rang the New Year’s welcoming.
Ding dong ding in notes of cheer,
Hail all hail the glad New Year!
