Remember when,
Now and then,
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing,

The friendship song.
Remember, Red?
You and I,
We'd nearly cry,
To know their love was strong,
And by and by,
We'd start to sing along.
We sang,
Try a little longer,
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
You work all night.
You work all day.
You still can't keep,
Those worry blues away.
Try a little longer,
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
Life comes up.
Life goes down.
There's just one way,
To keep it,
Going 'round.
Try a little longer,
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
(Repeat)
Remember when,
Now and then,
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing,
The friendship song.
