Good friends, like a tonic
Energize a heavy mind
All I need is a cup of tea – steaming Chaya
My jolly good friends
And the world is mine
Good friends, like pep pills
Rejuvenate the mind
All I need is a lawn, a shady tree
My jolly good friends
And the world is mine
Feminine one moment, tender, wistful
Gentle words in a whispered hushing
Ribald the next, void of reverence
Ready to send a sailor blushing
Impish looks and shrieks of laughter
“Do you know he slept
With that woman’s daughter?”
When my heart’s sagging and my spirits are low
Bring on my friends and I’m ready to go.
