Next year
We’ll use fresh ingredients
Juggling choices
To suit our palettes
Life’s finest chefs
Run on knowledge
And instinct combined
And with age and with time
So shall we
Next year
It’s a new recipe

Next year
We’ll combine the blends
Of things we’ve learnt
With newer tastes
We’ll not let a moment
Go to waste
A side dish or
A banquet
There’s nought to fear
For you or me
Next year
It’s a new recipe
