My New Year's wish for us - to hear this jewel of a song, go to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWRFY71jnWI .
May I get what I want, not what I deserve;
May the coming year not throw a single curve.
May I hurt nobody, may I tell no lies.
If I can't go on, give me strength to try.
Chorus:
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.
May the one you love be the one you get;
May you go some place you haven't been to yet.
May your friends surround you, never do you wrong;
May your eyes be clear and may your heart be strong.
Chorus:
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.
May the times to come be the best you've had.
May peace rule the world - let it make us glad.
When you see something wrong, try and make it right.
Pull the shadow-world into the bright sunlight.
Chorus:
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.
Ring the old year out, ring the new year in!
Bring us all good luck, let the good guys win.

4. NOTES : In a country as cool as Scotland, it
   is not surprising which thick, hearty yet relatively uncomplicated soups
   form a large part of the national cuisine. In some homes they may be
   the entire meal. Oatmeal soup is simple, yet has a rich and complex
   flavour. Oatmeal has a variety of uses in Scotland, from cakes and
   desserts to this soup. It comes in several grades, from coarse to fine
   and if you can't obtain a specific grade, either reduce coarse to medium
   or possibly fine by grinding it in your blender for a few min or
   possibly use whatever you can get.
