Story behind the song
As soon as I found out that Chinese New Year was falling on February 14th this year, I knew, a song had to be written about it.
This is it.
Lyrics
I once met a girl who's from China
The prettiest thing in the world
As soon as we met I was smitten
And cupid's keen arrows were hurled
But she didn't speak any English
And I didn't know Cantonese
But I found a way I could save the day
And wooing her became a breeze
I'm sending her dragon shaped valentine cards
And candy made mostly of rice
'Cause Lunar New Year falls on Valentine's Day
And that makes them both twice as nice
I'm hanging up heart-shaped red lanterns
I hope that she thinks they are fine
Then I'll sing a love song in downtown Hong Kong
Happy New Year And Be Mine
I walked on the Great Wall of China
To show her how far I would go
And hoped it would win her affection
But how was I really to know?
Until I could tell that she liked me
And didn't mind holding my hand
She gave me a smile and after a while
Her kisses sure made me feel grand
I'm sending her dragon shaped valentine cards
And candy made mostly of rice
'Cause Lunar New Year falls on Valentine's Day
And that makes them both twice as nice
I'm hanging up heart-shaped red lanterns
I hope that she thinks they are fine
Then we'll kiss and we'll sigh in downtown Shanghai
Happy New Year And Be Mine
At last it's the year of the tiger
The fireworks burst in the sky
I had a group doing the lion dance
And holding a message up high
It said in Chinese, "Babe, I love you.
So let us be wed in the spring."
And I heard her sigh with a tear in her eye
And that's when I showed her the ring
So sending her dragon shaped valentine cards
And candy made mostly of rice
'Cause Lunar New Year falls on Valentine's Day
And that makes them both twice as nice
And hanging up heart-shaped red lanterns
She must have thought that they were fine
Let wedding bells ring
In downtown Beijing
Happy New Year And Be Mine
Happy New Year And Be Mine
