The wold clock's han' do softly steal
Up roun' the year's last hour, so's;
Zoo let the han'-bells ring a peal,
Lik' them a-hung in tow'r, so's.
Here, here be two vor Tom, an' two
Vor Fanny, an' a peäir vor you;
We'll meäke em swing,
An' meäke em ring,
The merry new year in, so's.
Tom, mind your time there; you be wrong.
