In the West, there are not too many New Year's song. Certainly none about Chinese New Year. So we have decided to compose one: The eight days of the Spring Festival. It is based on a famous Christmas song and our observations of Spring Festivals past.
On the first day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Money in a red envelope!
On the second day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the third day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the fourth day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Four chicken's feet,
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the fifth day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Five sets of new clothes,
Four chicken's feet,
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the sixth day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Six sets of quilting,
Five sets of new clothes,
Four chicken's feet,
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the seventh day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Seven fireworks a-bursting,
Six sets of quilting,
Five sets of new clothes,
Four chicken's feet,
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
On the eighth day of Spring Festival
my true love gave to me
Eight dragons dancing,
Seven fireworks a-bursting,
Six sets of quilting,
Five sets of new clothes,
Four chicken's feet,
Three cartons of cigarettes,
Two bottles of Baijoe,
and money in a red envelope!
