[1st verse:]
|
What's that you say?
|
No work today?
|
Done lost your job?
|
Where is your pay?
|
Been shooting dice?
|
That's very nice
|
Needn't apologize, I'm cold as ice
|
Pack up your clothes
|
Lord only knows
|
You've been the cause of my troubles and woes
|
Don't ask me why
|
Too late to cry
|
Just bid yourself goodbye
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
A friend in need is a friend indeed
|
That's just the kind of friend I've been to you
|
When poverty smiled down on thee
|
I hung around and stuck like glue
|
It's a long long lane that has no turn
|
You can never tell your finish when you start
|
But when you find you can't make both ends meet
|
Then the best of friends must part
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Don't talk of love
|
Just like a dove
|
Can't eat the stars
|
That shine above
|
That stuff don't go
|
You'd better blow
|
Can't buy a meal with that lovin' you know
|
I know it's hard
|
On your old pard
|
But I can't help that you played your last card
|
Don't hesitate
|
Evaporate
|
Hunt up another mate
|
|
