Year In Year Out

Dodgy, fucked up days of yore
Under misspells — such a bore
Indecent blood
From iron to green
Earth year downing on Earth.
(Kaboom!)

From fast asleep to wide awake
The goo and the bad years at stake
Goofed the head-start
Laughed its arse off — damn it!
(Heehee!)

Stolen, ripped-off — years of gunk,
Bogged down like gulls in the junk,
Gushing out in agony.
(Waaaaaa!)

Feary, stressful years — inconsiderate
Foully, fishy, smell a rate
Mark-off year ticking off
Takes jabs and shots
By hook or by crook — the scumbag!
(Tallyho!)

Mug years for all the muggers
Riff-raff, buggers,
Mishap years of crap.
Gosh! New Year's a bleeder
Gash cracked open and cured
Undeferred.
(Ouch!)

Sweet year to the ear
Unchains the dark
(No more chickening out)
Saves us from the Night years.
(Boo!)

“Pass it on” says the Fearless year
To the Merry year.
“Long live life
All year long!”
(Cheers!)

NOTE: This is more a variation than an accurate translation of the original in French, as you can imagine all these puns being literally untranslatable (and the other way round). But I certainly do enjoy a good challenge sometimes.
