[BADGER]
Funny how it happens
One of life's old tricks
Folks are thrown together
Somehow something clicks

Could it be some greater scheme
The universe intends?
As what were once two strangers
Become two lifelong friends

A point of view is aired
A joke or two is shared
You have to be prepared
A friend is still a friend

Your patience may be tried
You take it in your stride
And rally to thеir side
A friend is still a friend

And if hе disappoints you
Or goes out on a limb
You know that a part of you
Will still have time for him
You help him to pull through
You know one thing is true
He'd do the same for you
A friend is still a friend

[RATTY]
If he has a weakness
Habits that are his
Are they not mere foibles
That make him who he is?

[BADGER]
Which of us is qualified for casting the first stone?
For none of us are blameless

[BADGER & MOLE]
We have faults of our own

[BADGER]
Sometimes we ask a lot

[MOLE]
Sometimes we lose the plot

[Ratty]
We know no matter what
[ALL]
A friend is still a friend

[BADGER]
And if the skies cave in

[RATTY]
We'll take it on the chin

[MOLE]
Be there through thick and thin

[ALL]
A friend is still a friend

And if we have a difference
We don't give up the ghost
What we have in common

[BADGER]
Is the part which matters most

[RATTY & MOLE]
The part which matters most

[ALL]
And as our journeys end
I hope all rifts can mend
On love you can depend
A friend is still a friend
[BADGER]
On love you can depend

[ALL]
A friend is still a friend
