[KAREN MORROW & JERRY HERMAN]
We'll always be bosom buddies
Friends, sisters, and pals
We'll always be bosom buddies
If life should reject you
There's me to protect you

[KAREN]
If I say that your tongue is vicious

[JERRY]
If I call you uncouth

[BOTH]
It's simply that
Who else but a bosom buddy
Will sit down and tell ya the truth?

We'll always be dear companions

[KAREN]
My crony

[JERRY]
My mate
[BOTH]
We'll always be harmonizing
Orphan Annie and Sandy
Like Amos and Andy

[JERRY]
If I say that your sense of style's
As far as off as your youth
It's simply that

[BOTH]
Who else but a bosom buddy
Will sit down and level
Will give you the devil
Will sit down and tell you the truth?
