The Year of the Dragon
New Year's greetings of Y2k
Printed like a dragon with teeth and fire
Added to the number 2 and
Scales and tail with the Zeros
Heading to the new millennium.
Newlyweds were busy making babies
To be born in the Year of the Dragon
Who could grow up and become emperors
Sons of the Dragon
Wearing the royal yellow and
Like the gods riding in purple clouds.
The less ambitious prayed
For peace and love.
Those who celebrate their birth-year
Were cautious not to offend their birth totem
Less misfortune fall upon them,
For the threshold of the Year of the Dragon
Was high, very high.
You were predestined to cross
Or left behind.
Let's pray for peace in the world and
Let the Dragon pass by.
