Track 07:

FRIENDS FOR LIFE   (listen)

words & music Carmella

Verse 1

Listen to the story ‘bout a world we know

‘bout a place we love to live, ‘bout a place we like to go

The people that we see and things that we do

So listen up to what we’re gonna sing to you.

Verse 2

Well I saw red ones, yellow ones, Black ones too

Brown ones, white ones, even some blue

Furry ones, fluffy ones, two legs, four

So many different people and animals more.

Verse 3

Some have a backbone and some are made of jelly

Some lick their fur clean and some are very smelly

Some drive sports cars, others drive you

From horses, to buses, to eagles, to puppies

From camels, canaries and elephants too.

Chorus 1

It’s a very small planet with not much room

It’s a world that really matters, no time for gloom

We’ve got animals and people living side by side

If we help one another we’ll be friends for life.

Verse 4

We’ve got traffic on the ground, aeroplanes fly by

Pollution on the Earth and pollution in the sky

We’ve got telephones, radio, microwaves

When we’re gonna listen to the sounds that nature made.

Verse 5

The TV’s on and the stereo swings

Mum and Dad are busy with their Mum and Dad things

The birds are swinging merrily in the trees

And the waves are rolling in and there’s honey from the bees

And the Chinese, Lebanese, Portugese, Maltese

Dog, cat, mouse, rat, dolphin, elephant, human, animal

Vegetable too.

Chorus 2

It’s a very small planet with not much room

It’s a world that really matters, no time for gloom

We’ve got animals and people living side by side

If we help one another, help one another

If we help one another we’ll be friends for life.
