Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
For auld lang syne, my dear,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
And surely you'll buy your wine cup,
And surely I'll buy mine,
And we'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne, my dear,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun till night,
But seas between us broad
have roared since old Lanskyne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
We'll take a cup of kindness, yeah,
And there's a hand, my trusty friend,
and he's a hand of thine.
We'll take a ride, goodwill draft
For auld lang syne, my dear,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
