It's Diwali Tonight

1. It's Diwali Tonight!
   Everything's ready to greet the new year.
   Everything's bright with light.
   Everyone's dressed up and full of joy.
   It's Diwali tonight!
   We've lit the lamps to show the way
   Up to our front door.
   We've sprinkled coloured powders to make
   Pictures on the floor.
   We've given each other gifts of sweets.
   There's lots of delicious things to eat
   Everything's ready to greet the new year.
   Everything's bright with light.
   Everyone's dressed up and full of joy.
   It's Diwali tonight!
