Ring out the old year!
Ring in the new!
Summer is coming ever so soon!*

Pack up the year,
Put it in boxes,
Stored safely away,
Left for another day!

Ding, dong! Ding, dong, bell!

Farewell the passing of the year!
And all its seasons too,
Cherish what’s right and true!

Ring out the old year!
Ring in the new!
Summer is coming ever so soon!

Ring out the old year!
Ring in the new!
