I was born in the year of the dragon To a world I never imagined In the year of the rat came a welcome mat In the year of the horse I used too much force Another year came round It came round to the year of the dragon I rode in the back of a wagon I drank from the bottom of a flagon In the year of the ox I was a-livin' in a box In the year of the snake I was half awake Another year came round It came round to the year of the dragon In the year of the rabbit I was changing a habit In the year of the pig I went from small to big Another year came round It came round to the year of the dragon In the year of the dragon In the year of the dragon
