Be a Friend
Be a friend. You don't need money
Just a disposition sunny
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended
Just the will to give or lend
This will make you someone's friend
Be a friend. You don't need glory
Friendship is a simple story
Pass by trifling errors blindly
Gaze on honest effort kindly
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying
Pity him who's sadly sighing
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend
Be a Friend friend
Be a friend. You don't need money
Just a disposition sunny
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended
Just the will to give or lend
This will make you someone's friend
Be a friend. You don't need glory
Friendship is a simple story
Pass by trifling errors blindly
Gaze on honest effort kindly
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying
Pity him who's sadly sighing
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend
Be a Friend friend
