Judy:

If you're ever in a jam, here I am

Johnny:

If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.

Judy:

If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your bail

Both:

It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot

Judy:

A-lottle-dottle-dottle-dig-dig-dig

Johnny:

If you're ever down a well, ring my bell

Judy:

And if you're ever up a tree just phone to me

Johnny:

A-yes-sir-ee
If you ever lose your teeth and you're out to dine, borrow mine

Both:

It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate

Johnny:

Gate?

Both:

Ours will still be great

Johnny:

A-lottle-dottle-dottle-chuck-chuck-chuck

Judy:

If they ever black your eyes, put me wise

Johnny:

If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose

Judy:

And if they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain

Both:

It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit
Ours will still be it

Judy:

A-lottle-dottle-dottle-hep-hep-hep

Johnny:

If you ever lose your mind, I'll be kind

Judy:

And if you ever lose your shirt, I'll be hurt

Johnny:

If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half, I won't laugh

Both:

It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships are up the crick
Ours will still be slick

A-lottle-dottle-dottle-woof-woof-woof
hep-hep-hep
a-chuck-chuck-chuck
a-dig-dig-dig
Good evening friends!
