[CARACTACUS POTTS]
What makes the battle worth the fighting?
What makes the mountain worth the climb?
What makes the question worth the asking?

[JEREMY & JEMIMA POTTS]
The reason worth the rhyme?

[CARACTUS, spoken]
Exactly!
[sung]
To me, the answer's clear
It's having someone near
Someone dear

Someone to care for
To be there for
I have you two
Someone to do for
Muddle through for
I have you two
Someone to share
Joy or despair with
Whichever betides you
Life becomes a chore
Unless you're living for
Someone to tend to
Be a friend to
I have you two
Someone to strive for
Stay alive for
I have you two
Could be we three
Get along so famously
'Cause you two have me
And I have you two too

[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
Someone to care for
To be there for

[CARACTACUS]
I have you two

[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
Someone to do for
Muddle through for

[CARACTACUS]
I have you two
Someone to smile
Once in a while with
Whenever you're lonesome
I've a happy lot
Considering what I've got
But you couldn't do more
Than you do for
Your poor father
Things go asunder
And I wonder
Why you bother

[CARACTACUS]
Could be

[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
Could be

[CARACTACUS]
We three

[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
We three]

[ALL]
Get along so famously
'Cause

[JEREMY & JEMIMA]
We two have you
[CARACTACUS]
And I have you two too
