And what kind of friend to be?
Here's a song to show you how to be the friend,
The kind of friend that everyone needs.
Friends are ones who always try to understand.
Friends are always giving you a helping hand.
To friends it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor;
You're always welcome at their door.

Making friends is easy if you try your best
To be friendly in all you say & do.
Lay aside your problems & help someone else,
And you know they'll appreciate you.
Friends believe you can when others say you can't.
They can cheer you up when you are feeling sad.
With friends you can be natural & not pretend;
That's the kind of friend I'd recommend.

Be a friend! [Be a friend!]
