I WISH I HAD A FRIEND TO PLAY WITH ME


I've got this pain that I just can't deal with
How I wish I had somebody to go and eat oatmeal with.
Oh, gee. I really need a friend to play with me.

I'd give him friendship and affection
I'd even let him come and see my paperclip collection
Oh, gee, I sure could use a friend to play with me!

In my tegrabistand (?), to hear a marching band
Or buy some saddle shoes
He'd worship argyle socks, collect them by the box
He'd help me chase these blues

My style would please him more than a smidgeon.
He'd say, "It's really nifty, Bert, the way you dance the Pigeon.
Oh, gee, I gotta find a friend to play with me

Won't somebody hear my plea,
Wanna end this misery
I wish I had a friend to play with me!
