Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my jo, for auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup! and surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my jo, for auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit, sin' auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my jo, for auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
And there's a hand my trusty fiere, and gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak' a right gude willie waught, for auld lang syne
For auld lang syne my jo, for auld lang syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne
