THE LITTLE NEW YEAR 



tripping shaking din blessings 

 treasure 



Oh, I am the little New Year, oh, ho ! 

 Here I come tripping it over the snow, 

 Shaking my bells with a merry din, 

 So open your doors and let me in ! 



Blessings I bring for each and all, 

 Big folks and little folks, short and tall ; 

 Each from me a treasure may win, 

 So open your doors and let me in. 



For I am the little New Year, oh, ho ! 

 Here T come tripping it over the snow, 

 Shaking my bells with a merry din, 

 So open your doors and let me in.
