Lyrics

If you're ever in a jam
Here I am
If you're ever in a mess
S.O.S
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail
I'm your bail
It's friendship, friendship
Just the perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot
La da la da la da dig dig dig
If you're ever down a well
Ring my bell
And if you're ever up a tree
Just phone to me (A-yessir-ee)
If you ever lose your teeth and you're out to dine
Borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship
Just the perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate (Gate?)
Ours will still be great
La de la de la de chuck chuck chuck
If they ever black your eyes
Put me wise
If they ever cook your goose
Turn me loose
And if they ever put a bullet through your brain
I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship
Just the perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forget
Ours will still be it
La de la de la de hep hep hep
If you ever lose your mind
I'll be kind
And if you ever lose your shirt
I'll be hurt
If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half
I won't laugh
It's friendship, friendship
Just the perfect blendship
When other friendships are up the crick
Ours will still be slick
La de la de la de woof woof woof
Hep hep hep chop chop chop
Dig dig dig
Good evening friends
