Lyrics

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped
And the children are creating
The other half run away
Taking all the cash
And leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike
What you need is a rest
It's so easy now
'Cause you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love
They give care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life
And all hope is lost
Hold out your hand
Cause friends will be friends
Right to the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered
A letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down
But somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life
Without him in your way
It's so easy now
Cause you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love
They give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life
And all hope is lost
Hold out your hand
Cause friends will be friends
Written by: Freddie Mercury, John Deacon
