Auld Lang Syne Lyrics

Should all acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should all acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

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

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

Let's have a drink or maybe two or maybe three or four
Or five or six or seven or eight or maybe even more

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

When it gets to closing time and if you still want more
I know a pub in Inverness that never shuts its door

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Ein schottisches Traditional, das meist nur an Silvester gespielt wird. Wir haben es zur Ganz-Jahres-Hymne umfunktioniert. Wenn uns britische Freunde die Nummer im Sommer spielen sehen, sind sie erst leicht verwundert, aber wippen dann doch mit dem Kopf, weil sie sich sehr gut mit den neuen Strophen identifizieren können.

Kuddel (Andreas von Holst, Gitarrist der Band)

I always hated this one, as it reminds me of New Year’s Eve and loads of drunken beer boys jumping around arm in arm before having a fight in the car park.

Vom Ritchie (Schlagzeuger der Band)
