Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll get your pint mug,
and surely I’ll get mine,
and we’ll drink a right good-will toast,
for auld lang syne.

We two have run about the hills,
and pulled the daisies fine,
but we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun ’till dine,
but seas between us broad have roared,
since auld lang syne.

And here’s a hand my trusty friend,
and give a hand o’ yours,
and we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
