TRADITIONALLY

 
As the bells peal out at midnight, Auld Lang Syne
is sung.

Often in a circle with arms crossed and hands
clasping the ones next to you.

The singing gains momentum until all are
merrily in and out of the circle.

Auld Lang Syne & Beer Barrel Polka

~~ AULD LANG SYNE ~~

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old 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.

And here's a hand my trusty friend,
And give a hand o' thine,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
Sing Auld Lang Syne.

For Auld Lange Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne,
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For Auld Lang Syne

~~ BEER BARREL POLKA ~~

There's a garden, what a garden
Only happy faces bloom there
And there's never any room
For a worry or a gloom
There's music, and there's dancing
And a lot of sweet romancing
When they play the polka
They all get in the swing
Everytime you hear that Oom-pah-pah
Everbody feels so tra-la-la-la
They only want to come back for one thing
They crowd around and sing trolly-olly-ay
And you hear that rumble on the floor
It's a big (HA HA HA HA) surprise you're waiting for
Then all at once everybody, everybody, forms a ring.


(Spoken: Come on everybody get up and form a ring. That's
the way, everybody get up and form a big ring. That's the way.
Then all at once you form a ring. Everybody get up and form
a ring. Here's a tenth of everybody....)
For miles around, you'll hear them sing.

CHORUS
Roll out the barrel, We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Zing Boom Ter ra ra
Join in a glass of good cheer
Now it's time to roll the barrel
For the gang's all here.
