Side by Side by Side

I mean, when you've got friends like mine

I mean, when you've got friends like mine

Isn't it warm, isn't it rosy?

Side by side (She's such a sweetheart)

By side (Isn't she a sweetheart?)

Ports in a storm

Comfy and cosy

Side by side (She never loses her cool)

By side (I envy that)

Everything shines, how sweet

Side by side (We're just so fond of her)

By side

Parallel lines who meet

(Love her, can't get enough of her)

Everyone winks, nobody's nosy

Side by side (She feels exactly the way I do)

By side (About everything)

You bring the drinks and I'll bring the posy

Side by side (She's always there when you need her)

By side (That's class)

One is lonely and two is boring

Think what you can keep ignoring

Side (She's my best friend)

By side (Second best)

By side (Power pitch hitter)

(Plus a perfect baby sitter)

(Year after year)

(Older and older)

It's amazing, we've gotten older every year

And she seems to stay exactly the same

(Sharing a tear)

(Lending a shoulder)

You know what comes to my mind when I see her?

The Chrysler building

Isn't that weird?

(Always in fun, no strain)

Sometimes I catch her looking and looking

I just look right back

(Permanent sun)

(No rain)

We're so crazy, she's so sane

(Everyone blends like a good whiskey)

A person like Bobby doesn't have the good things

She doesn't have the bad things

But she doesn't have the good things

(Intimate friends but nothing that's risky)

Let me make her a drink

She's the only person I know I feel should drink more

One's impossible, two is dreary

Three is company, safe and cheery

Side (She always looks like she's keeping score)

By side (Who's winning, Bobby?)

Here is the church, here is the steeple

Open the doors and see all the crazy married people

What would we do without you?

How would we ever get through?

Who would I complain to for hours?

Who'd bring me the flowers when I have the flu?

Who'd finish yesterday's stew?

Who'd take the kids to the zoo?

Who is so cool and who is so deep?

And who would keep her company when I wanna sleep?

How would we ever get through?

What would we do without you?

Huff, huff, huff, huff

What would we do without you?

How would we ever get through?

Should there be some marital tension?

It's her intervention that starts us anew

Who could we open up to?

Secrets we keep from guess who?

Who is so safe and who is so sound?

You never need an analyst with Bobby around

How could we ever get through?

What would we do without you?

(Party time)

(Here we go)

Huff, huff, huff, huff

(Okay, hurry up, Bobby)

What is it, what is it?

Ooh, that's a big one

(Eleven)

(Twenty-six)

(Thirty-five)

Oh, God

(Yay)

Huff, huff, huff, huff

What would we do without you?

How would we ever get through?

Who sends anniversary wishes?

Who helps with the dishes?

And never say boo?

Who changes subjects on cue?

Who cheers us up when we're blue?

Who is a flirt but never a threat?

Reminds us of our birthdays which we always forget

How would we ever get through?

What would we do without you?

(Get the light on, get the light on)

I'll just read my book then

Huff, huff, huff, huff

What would we do without you?

How would we ever get, how would we ever get

How would we ever get, how would we ever get

Through?

What would we do without you?

Just what you usually do

Right

You who sit with us, you who share with us

You who fit with us, you who bear with us

You who, you who, you who, you who, you who

Okay now, everybody

Isn't it warm, isn't it rosy?

Side by side

Ports in a storm

Comfy and cosy

Side by side

Everything shines, how sweet

Side by side

Parallel lines who meet

Side by side

Year after year, older and older

Side by side

Sharing a tear and lending a shoulder

Side by side

Two's impossible, two is gloomy

Give another number to me

Side by side by side

By side by side by side by side

By side by side by side by side

By side by side by side
