Happy new year, my friends, As this old year draws to an end.
May laughter be king on this evening Happy new year my friends.

Resolutions we make, of these some let us now partake,
to do all we can for our fellow man and be thankful each day.

Let's drink a toast to our host the brand new year, and to those that we hold so near.
I wish you health the very best to you, and may all of your dreams come true.

And when midnight has come, and the celebrating is done,
as you go your way, again may I say: happy new year my friends, my friends.

Don Holmes
