I Want To Be Your Friend

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

Shiny chum, don't be shy

Don't be mum, just say "hi!"

And we can play together

I want to be your friend.

Let's play ball, let's fly kites

Best of all, let's be knights!

We'll be so brave together,

I want to be your friend.

We can ride upon our horsies where adventure can be found

Save a dragon from a princess--or the other way around?

We will challenge every villain, in the east and in the west,

And we'll find a baby birdie and return it to its nest.

Through enchanted forests we'll go strolling,

And on Saturdays, we could go bowling!

Shiny sir, this I feel,

I am fur, you are steel,

But we belong together, faithful 'til the end

Oh I want to be, oh I want to be, oh I want to be

Your friend.
