For we like to make good resolutions
Which we never keep, you know!
(New Year steps to one side. Valentine enters, salutes the children first, then the audience.)
Tune: “She’s Gone; Let Her Go.”
Valentine—
I’m the patron saint of the children,
But I care for all true hearts as well.
Be they sixteen or sixty I love them all,
And they long for my magic spell.
Dear Cupid’s my merry attendant.
