Glad To Have A Friend Like You

Jill told Bill

That it was lots of fun to cook

Bill told Jill

That she could bait a real fishhook

So they made ooey gooey

Chocolate cake

Sticky licky

Sugar top

And they gobbled it and giggled

And they sat by the river

And they fished in the water

And they talked

As the squirmy wormies wiggled

Singin'



Glad to have a friend like you

Fair, and fun and skippin' free

Glad to have a friend like you

And glad to just be me



Pearl told Earl

That they could do a secret code

Earl told Pearl

There was free ice cream when it snowed

So they sent funny letters

Which contained mystery messages

And nobody knew just how they made it

And they raised up the window



And they scooped all the snow together

Put milk and sugar in and ate it

Singin'



Glad to have a friend like you

Fair, and fun and skippin' free

Glad to have a friend like you

And glad to just be me



Peg told Greg

She liked to make things out of chairs

Greg told Peg

Sometimes he still hugged teddy bears

So they sneaked in the living room

And piled all the pillows up

And made it a rocket ship

To fly in

And the bears were their girls and boys

And they were the astronauts

Who lived on the moon

With one pet lion

Singin'



Glad to have a friend like you

Fair, and fun and skippin' free

Glad to have a friend like you

And glad to just be me
