Lyrics:

  1. 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 a perfect blendship.
    When other friendships have been forgot
    Ours will still be hot.
    Lah-dle-ad-dle-ah-dle, dig, dig, dig
  2. If you’re ever up a tree,
    Phone to me.
    Of you’re ever down a well
    Ring my bell.
    If you ever lost your teeth and you’re out to dine,
    Borrow mine.
    It’s friendship, friendship
    Just a perfect blendship.
    When other friendships have been forgate,
    Ours will still be great.
    Lah-dle-ad-dle-ah-dle, chuck, chuck, chuck.
  3. If they ever black your eyes,
    Put me wise.
    If they ever cook your goose,
    Turn me loose.
    If they ever put a bullet through your brr-in,
    I’ll complain.
    It’s friendship, friendship,
    Just a perfect blendship.
    When other friendships have been forgit
    Ours will still be it,
    Lah-dle-ad-dle-ah-dle, hop, hop, hop.
