When I was broke and blue I gave advice to you
Ah you're a true blue friend you helped me pay my rent
I charged you ten percent ah that's what I call a real good friend
When I was sick ol' scout you took my girl friend out
On me you can depend oh what a pal you were
I even married her you're a real good friend
Here's a cigar or two that's mighty nice of you
You're a real good friend but don't stand too close to me
It might go off you see you're a real good friend
I borrowed your car last night you brought it back alright
Smashed from end to end I may have had a crash
But I filled it up with gas you're a real good friend
I told some folks the facts about your income tax
Now you're a real good friend but who did you tell it to
Internal revenue now you're a real good friend
If I should ever be governor of Tennessee
I'll prove my friendship then oh what will you do for me
Dog catcher you will be you're a real good friend
I recorded a song you wrote I sang it note for note
Well, thanks my real good friend I think it will be a hit
So I put my name on it now you're a real good friend
Let's sing a sweet duet we'll make a team I'll bet
Let our voices blend I'll sing the melody
I'll sing the harmony cause we're both real good friends
