Pewter and O Christmas Tree



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



from Auld Lang Syne.  1st and last verses.  The song is traditionally sung by most of us on the stroke of midnight each NewYears Eve however in Scotland, where Auld Lang Syne originates it is also sung on Burns Night, January 25th, to celebrate the life of the author and famous poet Robert Burns. 


***


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town


From Santa Claus is Coming To Town by lyricist Haven Gillespie and musician John Frederick Coots, 1932.
