For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for the sake of auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
and surely I’ll buy mine!
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for the sake of auld lang syne.
Chorus:
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;
We’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since the days of auld lang syne.
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,

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,

And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o’ thine!
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for the sake of auld lang syne.
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for the sake of auld lang syne.
