Auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?

     For auld lang syne, my dear
     For auld lang syne
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet
     For auld lang syne

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
And surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

     For auld lang syne, my dear
     For auld lang syne
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet
     For auld lang syne

We two have run about the slopes,
And picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
Since the days of auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,
From morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
Since the days of auld lang syne

     For auld lang syne, my dear
     For auld lang syne
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet
     For auld lang syne

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
For auld lang syne.

     For auld lang syne, my dear
     For auld lang syne
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet
     For auld lang syne

     For auld lang syne, my dear
     For auld lang syne
     We'll take a cup of kindness yet
     For auld lang syne
