“And Poor Old Year—he almost wept As he packed up his things and left. But as he turned to say good-by, Something in him made him cry: ‘Though my work is mostly done, I, have, too, had lots of fun, And ’ere I go upon my way, This I certainly would say: ‘Happy New Year, big and small, Happy New Year, short and tall, Happy New Year, every one! May you all have lots of fun!’”
