My friend, my good friend 
Don't you look so sad 
I know that you've been cheated 
That's bad - so bad 
But time is too precious 
Why don't you put on that smile 
Forget about loneliness 
If you occupy your time 
then pretty soon you'll

Feel no fret - 
be no weeping no wailing 
Feel no fret - 
be no meaning no groaning 
Feel no fret - 
nothing new that you're owning

My friend, my good friend 
Dry your weeping eyes 
Handle it with courage 
If you hold your head up high 
then pretty soon you'll

Feel no fret 
be no weeping no wailing 
Feel no fret 
be no moaning no groaning 
Feel no fret 
nothing new that you're owning 
Feel no fret

My friend, my good friend 
It's an all time low 
But you can see right through it 
If you hang in tight 
Then pretty soon you'll

Feel no fret 
be no weeping and wailing 
Feel no fret 
be no moaning no groaning 
Feel no fret 
nothing new that you're owning 
Feel no fret
