I Don't Listen to the Lyrics

UPDATE: (Sunday afternoon) I wonder how many people were accused of public intoxication last night that were actually singing the correct words?
--

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of 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

Uh, ok. But if you had trouble, it only goes downhill from here.

We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine;
we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne

We two hae paidled i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne

And here's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of 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

What? I don't even have a guess here! Is that even English?!!! Oh well…

Happy New Year!!!

Nope, it's Scottish! And since I don't drink, I can't imagine why I would even sing the song!
