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

Doctors 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

Cos friends will be friends

Right till 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

Cos 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

Cos friends will be friends

Right till the end
