Friends

(앨범: Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp - 1964)

There are some things I've been meaning to say
But until now couldn't find a way
To say all I want to would take far too long
But this wraps it up in the words of a song

Just like a bee without honey
Just like a bank without money
Now who ever heard of a motorcar
Without petrol going very far

Just like a cup with without coffee
Just like a kid without toffee
What are we without each other
Never try to part us brother

Just like a town without people
Think of a church with no steeple
Who ever heard of counting sheep
Without someone falling off to sleep

Friends we've always been
And friends we'll always stay
All for one and one for all
Things go better that way

Just like the Tube with no tunnel
Just the ship with no funnel
Who ever heard of a motorboat
Without water managing to float

Just like the sea without no fishing
And just like a well with no wishing
Can't have one without the other
That's the way that we work brother

Just think of Arthur with Askey
Just think of Irish and "whiskey"
It's very plain to see
Well never ever ever be

Anything but friends
Anything but friends
Anything but friends
Anything but friends
We're good mates, yeah
