Letting The New Year In-1940
  Regal Zonophone MR3394 Gifford/Cliffe/Formby

On New Year's Eve folks sit up late and have a real do.
And as they let the New Year in good luck they wish to you
Now we were happy as can be,
Letting the New Year in .

I stayed up till half past three - Letting the New Year in .
I somehow got knocked off my feet, tore my trousers round the seat
Then I went walking down the street - Letting the New Year in .

We get surprises in galore - Letting the New Year in .
I think we've got to blame Old Moor for Letting the New Year in .
My wife had twins but I don't shout, who they're like there seems no doubt
So I've been throwing the lodger out and Letting the New Year in .

I like a lot of cash to spend when I'm Letting the New Year in .
Sometimes a horse can prove a friend when Letting the New Year in .
The horse I backed would you believe, was running still on New Year's Eve
The horse kept shouting "Come on Steve, I'm Letting the New Year in ."

Last year just as midnight struck I was Letting the New Year in .
I called on Miss Brown for luck Letting the New Year in .
She said "Oh doctor I'm not strong, examine me it won't take long.
I said "Eh Miss you've got me wrong, I'm Letting the New Year in .

One New Year a plot I planned Letting the New Year in .
With my blowlamp in my hand I was Letting the New Year in .
I broke in a bank that night, a cop dashed in and held me tight.
I said "Let go, it's quite all right, Letting the New Year in ."

In my car I raced about, Letting the New Year in .
Sixty miles an hour all out,Letting the New Year in .
Right bang through a house I crashed, in her bath a lady splashed.
I said as my little torch I flashed, "Letting the New Year in ."
