The Best Friend
I’ve Got
i‘m the best friend that i ever
had. i like to sit with me,
i like to sit and tell myself
things confidentially.
I often stop and ask me it i
shouldn't or i’should
And had that niy adviceto me
is always pretty good.
I never got acquainted with my-
self till here of late:
Just found myself a bully chum:
smce then it's simply great!

wrong. 7 ‘
And really new you‘d be sur-
prised how will we get
, along.
[never try to cheat me. Pitt as
honest as can be,
No matter what may come and
go. l'm on’the square with
me.
It’s great to have a pal that's
truly all your own.
To be such company for your-
self you're never leitalone,
You'll try to shun the masses
and you’ll think the crowd
a joke
it you treat yourself ball as well
as you do some other folk.
l've made a study of myself;
have compared me with a ,
lot. ..
