My Youngest Granddaughter

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wanted to share with you all a fun new song my 9 year old granddaughter wrote. She had been asking me what kinds of things do other people usually do on New Year's Eve. We talked about drinking, and partying, and being stupid in general. She took some of those elements we discussed and sat down and wrote this song.

It's an adaptation of the 'Twelve Days Of Christmas' song... you know the one. "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...". Her New Years Song goes to the same tune.
