[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
A friend is to keep
So you'll never lack
Somebody too cheap
To call you right back

[SALLY]
A friend is to have
To give you the flu

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
And preferably, to look
At least three years older than you!

[LUCY]
A friend is to trust
That's what a friend's for

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
As long as it's just
As far as the door!

A friend is to need
And friend, when you do
That friend that you need, that old friend indeed
Had better be you!
Had better be you!
Had better be you!
[SNOOPY]
Thick as two thieves, you and me
Close as two leaves, you and me
Hearts on our sleeves
Where they're easy to mend, friend
Bugs in a rug, you might say
So snug we're smug, you might say
We're sticking through thick and thin to the end

Right as the rain, me and you
Links in a chain, me and you
We're like chow mein, we're a beautiful blend
Out friendship goes to show
It takes a friend to know
A real good friend
