And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne.

CHORUS

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-stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

Bonne Année, mon ami!

The song I imagine everyone around the world singing in unison is Auld Lange Syne. Just like the end of "It's A Wonderful Life".

The one damper on that heartwarming thought is the probability that very few people actually know the words to the song, if they know the song at all.
