Isn’t that how it goes? — Barry J., Medford Close, Barry, but no New Year’s cigar for you. The first verse of the song, titled "Auld Lang Syne," goes a little something like this: "Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind, should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne." In case you’re wondering, the phrase "auld lang syne" is Scottish for "old long since," and means "times gone by." Advertisement According to the Web site www.factmonster.com , "It is often remarked that ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is one of the most popular songs that nobody knows the lyrics to." So don’t worry Barry, apparently you are not alone in your confusion. Happy New Year! Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O.
