Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
Got a friend in heaven, love to see him again
Hope he puts in a good word for me, hope he helps me get in
Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
He was a big man, about 300 pounds
Dressed in biker leather, thought he'd knock me down
He loved to party, party all night long
He could play that piano so sweet, listen to his song
Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
Got a friend in heaven, love to see him again
Hope he puts in a good word for me, hope he helps me get in
Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
I watched a good man fall, 'neath the sorrow and pain
Of too many broken hearts, time and time again
I watched his big heart break, I heard him cry
I couldn't help my friend, now I say goodbye
Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
Got a friend in heaven, love to see him again
Hope he puts in a good word for me, hope he helps me get in
Got a friend in heaven, he's my very best friend
