'tis the card, to you I send
on this occasion
rare, far & few in between

'tis the card, to you I send
on this very special Valentine's day
or the auspicious Lunar New Year's eve
as if
you're adam
& I'm eve

'tis a day
we must, celebrate
with cooling fizz

'tis an eve
we must, celebrate
with a big feast

'tis a day
we must, celebrate
in twos, in style & in peace

'tis an eve
we must, celebrate
with as many family members
ten, to say the least

'tis a day
we wine & dine
gaze, tease & kiss

'tis an eve
we celebrate with steam-boats
food plenty & full of grease

day or eve
'tis a very special eve
that you must please
both the eves on the very same day

day or eve
'tis a double happiness occasion
indeed, once in a century
so, be happy, please
