Auld Lang Syne?

I hope that my few faithful readers will have a good year.

In the twisted sense of my Hong Kong Christmas Carols here is one for the up coming New Year. I will probably revise this a bit so the chorus is a bit different every time

By the way. I make neither apology or excuse for my apparent hypocrisy in posting what may be seen as mean spirited social or political parodies on one day and peaceful religious meditations the next. It is just me.

To the tune (sort of) of Auld Lang Syne

Should old relatives be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should old classmates be ignored
Because they didn't pass the HKCEE?

Chorus
For the DAB's Ma Lik,
And Nina Wong
We will take a cup of finest cheer!
Neither will be mourned

We all have run about after a bus
And pulled the muscles fine,
But we also rode the KCR
Even though it was the very last time.

Chorus
For the DAB's Ma Lik
And Nina Wong
We wll take a cup of finest cheer!
Neither will we mourn

We two have Coughed in the street
From noon until dinner time,
From air so thick it looks like smoke
And hides the whole skyline

Chorus
For the DAB's Ma Lik
And Nina Wong
we wll take a cup of finest cheer!
Neither will we mourn

And there is a place called Tin Shui Wai
There you can live without hope
Or if you cannot find a job
Then maybe try and learn to fly.

Chorus
For the DAB's Ma Lik
And Nina Wong
We will take a cup of finest cheer
Neither will we mourn

And surely you will pay for your pint,
And surely I will pay for mine!
For they lowered the tax on beer!
For all us old drunks!

Chorus
For the DAB's Ma Lik
And Nina Wong
We will take a cup of finest cheer
Neither will we mourn


Until Next Time
