Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor’s life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold with a diamond chain
I’ve got no strings,
To hold me down,
To make me fret,
or make me frown.
I had strings,
But now I’m free,
There are no strings on me.
“Auld Lang Syne” is a popular song, traditionally, it is sung to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. It’s also often heard at funerals, graduations, and as a farewell or ending to other occasions.

Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our hearts Love sang an old sweet song;
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.
Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick’ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho’ the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love’s old song,
comes Love’s old sweet song.
She taught school in Kansas City, she was cold and rather drab
So, at all the local parties, she was not the one they’d grab
But she read a book and then came the transformation
She announced one night to people’s consternation
The heat is on! The heat is on!
Ya better not get near my lips tonight
I got a kiss to light the flame
And if you touch my lips you might ignite
And you would have yourself to blame

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen
Give him two lips like roses in clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
