Most any decent sort of folk

Will help you when you're strapped and broke:

If you are facing pain ar d woo,

Most anybody that you know

Will treat you pretty white and fair

If they're convinced you're on the square;

But get what I am driving at ?-

A friend does something more than that.

A friend doesn't have to weigh you much

To test your honesty and such;

A friend knows faults and virtues, too;

And takes them as a part of you.

He tries to keep you out of trouble..

But when you're in-why. that goes double.

And all your follies be enduros

Because he is a friend of yours.

A friend is one with whom you sit

And, do not need to talk a bit; Who needs no chatter to reveal Approximately how you feel.

Who, when your secret heart's unfurled, Won't rush right out and tell the world. Who's not afraid to step right in And tell you what a boob you've been, But whose devotion it won't jar However much a fool you are."
