Celebrating Chinese New Year

Red lai see for the children,
Red banners for the walls,
Happy red is everywhere
When Chinese New Year calls.
Gold oranges for giving,
Peach blossoms to bring luck,
White shark fins for our special soup,
Pink sweet sauce for the duck.
Hot yellow lions dancing,
Warm yellow lantern light,
Pink-yellow-red-green dragons
Who snarl but never bite!
Brown sticky cake and dumplings,
One great big black bass fish,
A Gung Hay Fat Choy! greeting;
To all our New Year wish!
