We're all gathered in goodbye to last year
And to ring the new year in with good cheer
Plenty of wine, beer and goodies to eat
It's going to be a glorious meet.
Well that's what I thought till all hell let loose
Auntie Ruth for a start, swallowed a tooth
She said it's been wobbly for quite a while
Now you see's a big gap each time she smiles.
Uncle Jack, quite a lad, fell on his back
Must have been all the beers downed that he'd had
He tried them all, that being his downfall
Poor soul he can now hardly walk at all.
Cousin Mabel sat glued to the table
Eating as much party food as able
As for the sherry, it made her merry
Merry's not in her vocabulary.
If fact the air it turned electric blue
She stirred up a fiery hullabaloo
Seems her old man is gettin' what he's due
For all the rascal ever put her through.
There's Gran Fran who's now the head of our clan
Enjoying herself, as only she can
So busy and dizzy she'll never rust
Boy, can she dance with a foxy hip thrust.
Bro Joe got us doing Okey Cokey
Which ended up like the Okey Chockey
The golden oldies were gasping for breath
After swinging arms and kicking up legs.
Then bro Tomo led us in the Conga
As dad tried playing the harmonica
Mom in fits of laughter, splitting her sides
Laughed till she ended up on her backside.
What a party, what a sight, what a night
Now I see them all in different light
What fun they are, made from purest delight
Each one enjoying the sweet taste of life.
Came the time for us to sing Auld Lang Syne
We all joined hands as the midnight bells chimed
Singing out loud those wonderful lyrics
Bringing the New Year in with good spirit.
