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 you care and attention Friends will be friends When you're through with life and all hope is lost Hold out your hand (we'll be friends) 'cause friends will be friends (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 (we'll be friends) 'cause friends will be friends (friends) right 'til the end
