Another red letter day
 
 So the pound has dropped
 
 And the children are creating
 
 The other half run 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 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 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
 
 '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 till 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 till 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 to the end
 
 Friends will be friends
  
 
 Friends will be friends
 
 Friends will be friends
 
 Friends will be friends
 
 Right till the end
