Eladme Chai,
I got some knowledge for you this morning.
Pay attention, Chai.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend
if you have some money to
spend.
They will come from near and far,
drink rum and smoke your cigar.
When the wolf is at your door,
you won't see your
friends anymore.
They'll be there when things are nice,
to eat up all your peas and rice.
But when all your money's gone,
you'll face the wolf alone.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend,
if you have some money
to spend.
If you start a bank account
When it reach a large amount
Every night you go to bed
You don't have to worry your head
But if you ain't got a bump
Brother, you're out of luck
Asking friends would be no use
They sure will have an excuse
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend
if you have some money to spend.
If you're broken badly bent
Not a cent to pay your rent
Landlord have no use for talk
He'll put you on the sidewalk
When you're standing in the street
Worrying bout good things to eat
Your so -called friends will pass you by,
walking on the other side.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend
if you have some money to spend.
If you're rich and ugly too,
pretty gals will fall for you
But if you're poor and ugly too,
a dog is better than you
So every time you get your pig,
put aside for any day
Just like a dog preserves a bone,
blessed a child it has its own.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend.
You will always have a friend
if you have some money to spend.
