Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS For auld lang syne, my dear,for auld lang syne,we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld lang syne.

CHORUS We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d sin’ auld lang syne.

CHORUS And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gies a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willie-waught,
for auld lang syne.CHORUS

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS For auld lang syne, my dear,for auld lang syne,we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS We two have run about the hills,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine (dinner time) ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

In England many years ago,
a man so young and bright,
he made a club for men like us, that are gathered here tonight.Like equal men they sat and talked, had fun - made friendships there.

This spirit did we all ADOPT,
every Tabler - everywhere.

From town to town this social life,was known to be a treat.Now all the world has Tabler clubs,where different men do meet.

And every club has now a team,which fits the lifestyle there.That is the way we do ADAPT,
every Tabler - everywhere.

When Tablers meet, they do explore and learn from what they hear.They do discuss and know they can speak freely without fear.

Be open-minded in your clubs, try always to be fair,
that is the way we will IMPROVE, every Tabler - everywhere.In fellowship and brotherhood, let’s give a helping hand.

Through service all around the world,we will help the best we can.Beware we can’t be all alike,
let’s show we really care.You know you always have a friend, there are Tablers everywhere.
