Gilbert O'sullivan - A Friend of Mine lyrics

Good morning Mary Ann And how are you upon this bright And sunny morning I hear your brother Ted Got caught for speeding But was let off with a warning I hope he's learnt his lesson And the next time he goes out will drive with care It doesn't pay to drive too fast All it does is make your life last shorter I know you won't believe this But it happens to be true I am a loner My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of His name's Homer He follows me wherever I go And of course I do my best to feed him It's not the easiest of tasks When you consider unlike cats They're broader Do what you want to within reason But remember take your time Nothing stops for those Who can't afford to wait The best advice that I can give you Is to hold on to your head And as long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find But I'd like to think that you are A friend of mine Good morning Sarah Jane And how are you today Tell me is that your mother She looks a lot like you Though come to think of it You look like one another It's funny how with likenesses Most people have a difference of opinion They said that I was like my dad Now they say that I'm just like his daughter Do what you want to within reason But remember take your time Nothing stops for those Who can't afford to wait The best advice that I can give you Is to hold on to your head And as long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine You'll always be a friend of mine As long as you are good and kind You'll always be a friend of mine A friend in need is a friend indeed You'll always be a friend of mine
