Old Friends sing and play along
Hey, old friend,
are you okay,
old friend?
What do you say,
old friend, are we or are we unique?
Time goes by, ev'rything else keeps changing.
You and I, we get continued next week.
Most friends fade or they don't make the grade.
New ones are quickly made and,
in a pinch, sure they'll do.
But us, old friend, what's to discuss,
old friend?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few.
Hey, old friends,
how do we stay old friends?
No one can say,
old friends, how an old friendship survives.
One day chums having a laugh a minute,
one day comes, and they're a part of your lives.
New friends pour through the revolving door.
Maybe there's one that's more.
If you find one, that'll do.
But two old friends, 'specially you,
old friends, here's to us!
Who's like us?
Two old friends, fewer won't do,
old friends.
Gotta have two old friends, helping you balance along.
One upbraids you for your faults and fancies,
one persuades you that the other one's wrong.
Most friends fade or they don't make the grade.
New ones are quickly made, perfect as long as they're new.
But us, old friends what's to discuss,
old friends?
Here's to us!
Who's like us?
Damn few!
