London at New Year’s
Clink glasses
And say, “Cheers!”
Hey, Barkeep!
Keep slingin’ that London Pride!

Have a pint on the south bank
Have a go at the Yanks
Sipping cola as they pass you by.

London at New Year’s 
The lagers!
The craft beers!
You must try a porter before you die!

Come, let your hair down, full stop!
Let the Yanks wait for their next ball to drop.
We’re gonna be in London on New Year’s Eve.

London at New Year’s
Grins in between ears.
Tear stains on cheeks
For the time gone by!

Forgive and forget!
Looking back, no regrets!
Better to fail than to never have tried!

London at New Year’s.
The party’s in full gear!
The Queen’s on her balcony, umbrella held high!

With the boys singing in the barbershops

With the bells ringing from the rooftops
We’re gonna be in
I’m gonna see you in
Let’s you and me be in
London at New Year’s Eve!
