Verse 1
Pow! Crack! Boom! Zip!
The revellers from the town all slip
Into their cozy homes to hear
The sound of firework cheer
Verse 2
Colours of the rainbow in the sky
A hush as they all give a sigh
A sprinkle of dots and swirls of white
Lights up the night
Verse 3
The smell of burning sulphur in the air
A puff of smoke across the square
The whiff of something old and new
Makes the atmosphere anew
Verse 4
The feeling of anticipation in the crowd
Swelling up its joy aloud
In such an amazing display
We feel the joy in every way
Verse 5
Evoking hope that the new year will bring
Everything that we have dreamed
Sparkling lights in the night activate
The hope that we can celebrate.
