There was a girl named Sawanee I Knew
She always tried to swim against the Tide
And the Ocean of her heart where the wind Blew
Was Deep and Strong where any Friend would Abide
The Questions she asked Showed Wisdom Beyond her Years
Although it Seemed that Her Wisdom came with many Tears
Where one would know Nothing but Selfish Desire
She found the strength to go even Higher
To be Loyal with the Ocean of her Heart
And let any Sailor lucky to Travel with a Part
Consider this a present for the birthday missed
We're your friends
We're your friends
We're your friends to the bitter end
When you're alone
Who comes around
To pluck you up
When you are down
And when you're outside, looking in
Who's there to open the door?
That's what friends are for!
Who's always eager to extend
A friendly claw?
That's what friends are for!
And when you're lost in dire need
Who's at your side at lightning speed?
We're friends of every creature
Comin' down the pike
In fact we never met an animal
We didn't like, didn't like
So you can see
We're friends in need
And friends in need
Are friends indeed
We'll keep you safe
In the jungle forevermore
That's what friends are for!
