"Aul Lang Syne" is a traditional song that British people sing at midnight on December 31; but most people don't know that it is a Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns and later set to the music of a folk song.
The song's (Scots) title may be translated from old Scottish dialect into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago" or "days gone by".

I will hang my trousers up.
I will put the sleeves back on my records.
I will not start smoking.
I will stop squeezing my spots.
I will be kind to the dog.
I will help the poor and ignorant.
After hearing the disgusting noises from downstairs last night, I have
also vowed never to drink alcohol.
My father got the dog drunk on cherry brandy at the party last night. If the
RSPCA hear about it he could get done. Eight days have gone by since Christmas
Day but my mother still hasn’t worn the green lurex apron I bought her for
Christmas! She will get bathcubes next year.
Just my luck, I’ve got a spot on my chin for the first day
of the New Year!
