Another red letter day

So the pound has dropped

And the children are creating

The other half ran away

Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber

Got a pain in the chest

Doctor's on strike

What you need is a rest

It's not easy, love

But you've 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

Right 'til 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

Right 'til the end

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

Right 'til the end

(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 right 'til the end

(Friends will be friends) yeah, yeah
