Friendship



If you're ever in a jam, here I am
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail, I'm your bail
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgot
Ours will still be hot
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-dig-dig-dig
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell
And if you're ever up a tree just phone to me
A-yes-sir-ee
If you ever lose your teeth and you're out to dine, borrow mine
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgate
Gate?
Ours will still be great
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-chuck-chuck-chuck
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose
And if they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships have been forgit
Ours will still be it
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-hep-hep-hep
If you ever lose your mind, I'll be kind
And if you ever lose your shirt, I'll be hurt
If you're ever in a mill and get sawed in half, I won't laugh
It's friendship, friendship
Just a perfect blendship
When other friendships are up the crick
Ours will still be slick
- Cole Porter

I've always loved this quirky little song, and especially loved watching Lucy and Ethel on I Love Lucy singing it. Anyway, I just want to take this time to say thank you to all of my friends. I appreciate you all, and for many reasons: your love, support, humor, inspiration, talent, dependability and hope.

I was just thinking about how quickly I've become friends with a couple of bloggers and Etsians...not a lot, but a few. And it's because they (you) take the time to befriend others. Thanks for being there. You are always up and encouraging, Beth.

Beth, I've come to consider you a friend in blogland and count on your comments both on my blog and on yours. Your kind upbeat spirit comes through in your words. Thank you so much.

What a fun post. I love some of those old songs. Loved the old t.v. shows too! Thanks for sharing that.
