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 buy your pint cup!
And surely I’ll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We two [bad word] about the hills,
and picked 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 (dinner time);
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand my [bad word] friend!
And give us a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
