Lex Zaleta - Five Friends lyrics

Got this chain letter in the mail, A get-rich scheme that couldn't fail. I knew it was legal, you see; It was signed by an attorney, And this is what he said to me: If you can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends - Think of all the money You'll be able to spend. Got myself some preferred seating At this opportunity meeting. They said they weren't selling soap; They thought of it as selling hope. I was drowning - they threw me this rope: If you can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends - Think of all the money You'll be able to spend. Got this Nigerian e-mail, Another scheme that couldn't fail. Didn't question the legality Or the man's nationality. At least he didn't say to me: If you can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends - Think of all the money You'll be able to spend. Now, I'm not the kind of guy To let my problems multiply, So ....... I joined this folkie twelve-step program To save me from the next new scam My new-found hope was fast-fleeting When at the very first meeting They all hit me with this greeting: If you can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends Who can find five friends - Think of all the money You'll be able to spend. If something doesn't work soon, It looks like I'll have to.
