If you want to have a friend, and you die to have a friend
And you need to have a friend, ya gotta be one
If you'd love to have a friend, and you pray to have a friend
You pine to have a friend, ya better be one
Oh, my momma always said, and even though she's dead
I still hear her in my head, saying be one
Sometimes my song gets sad, and the only cure I've had
Find someone who needs a friend, and then be one
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
It is said you can't buy love, and when push comes up to shove
There is only one I trust to be one
Who's the one who measures up? It is my own sweet pup
The look that's in his eyes is saying he's one
I've got one thing left to say, you can put your cash away
Not a penny need you pay, this is a free one
Here is what I know is true, birdies tweet and cows go moo
It is how they talk to you if you listen
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
I should love my fellow man, yea, that should be in my plan
But I don't know if I can, oh, that's a hard one
Some folks prefer a cat, they can get their love like that
But hey, that's not for me, I just don't want one
I don't know where I will go, headed up or down below
Maybe come back as my dog, I'd like to be one
Oh let's all sing duet, you can sing it with your pet
That's as good as it can get. Hit it dogs!
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
Be a friend, make a friend, keep that friend to the very end
