International New Year Party

Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh,

O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

          Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.

          O, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride,

And soon Miss Fannie Bright was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,

He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot.

          Refrain

A day or two ago, the story I must tell,

I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie, but quickly drove away.

         Refrain

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay, two-forty for his speed,

Then hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack!

                                                     You'll take the lead.

Dashing through the snow in a trolley-bus

Everybody knows the club’s waiting for us.

The tea is hot again, and smiles are warm and kind,

Sparkling of champagne makes the spirit bright.

 

Refrain:

Speaking club, reading club,

Singing, drinking club

We meet here as Englishmen

In their favorite pub

                                 Hey!

Enriching club, bridging club

Ukraine and USA

Oh, what fun it is to come

Every Saturday!

 

Someone speaks so well, someone sings along,

Someone slightly mediates what is going on,

All girls are full of grace in costumes for masquerade;

Someone kind explains what we celebrate.

 

Refrain

 

May we all succeed in year coming soon

And English club proceed in our 10A room;

May Christmas bring much joy and love to our homes,

And New Year may fulfill all secret dreams and hopes.

 

Refrain
