Verse 1
We cheered the New Year’s crack again, last Hogmanay came rushin’ in,
Aye, mindin’ all the madness we’d embraced.
And once again we laughed aloud — for every pint we gulped down proud,
That filled us till the dawn and left us braced.
How all the guests came rollin’ in, my mam and da’ awaitin’ them,
And someone handed me a bonnie orange prize.
The house was packed from floor to roof, yet we sang loud wi’ heart and proof,
And every lad drank somethin’ not his own supplies.
Verse 2
The neighbour’s daft wee wifie came, the first-foot o’ the year she claimed,
And drank hersel’ wi’ joy clean off her head.
She plopped right on the Black Bun loaf, tae everyone’s eternal scoff,
Then fought her man in hallway dread.
Da’ got a wee bit bonnie drunk, then played the wee pony wi’ mighty funk,
He rolled me through the rooms wi’ glee.
And laughed so loud, then bade me luck,
An’ scared the toilet long and free.
Verse 3
Poor Ewan got so hot, he locked himself in bath a lot,
Filled it full and dozed away.
As if wee lad in distant youth, could never strip wi’ proper truth,
And nearly drowned in playful fray.
Auntie and Uncle Fergus wrestled in the nursery wide,
Uncle Fergus claimed the win with cheeky pride.
Then rocking, rolling, mucking all around,
An’ he poked me pillow wi’ a sound.
Verse 4
Hamish joked wi’ daft delight, said he’s Batman for the night,
Then leapt frae seventh floor wi’ flair.
The ambulance came, doc laughed too bright,
Said he’d wear a cast a year tae bear.
I loved it all, the fun so bright, we marked the feast wi’ happy light.
Alas, our party’s reached its end.
From morn tae eve, there’s naught tae do in sight,
Oh bring the new, new Hogmanay again.
Outro
Oh bring the new, new Hogmanay again.
Oh bring the new, new Hogmanay again.
Oh bring the new, new Hogmanay again.
Oh bring the new, new Hogmanay again.
