"Friendship" is a song originally written by Cole Porter for Anything Goes in 1934.
The song was used for The Muppet Show in the Chris Langham episode sung by Kermit the Frog and Robin the Frog and an excerpt from the song during a medley in the Ethel Merman episode was sung by Ethel Merman and Fozzie Bear.
The song would later be used by Disney for the Disney's Sing-Along Songs video, Friend Like Me, sung over a montage of clips from classic Disney cartoons by Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. A few years earlier, a shorter version of Mickey, Donald and Goofy's rendition of the song was featured in the Disney Sunday Movie episode "Great Moments in Disney Animation", also set to footage of Disney cartoons.
As well, Woody and Buzz Lightyear sang a version of this in a Disney on Ice show.
Lyrics[]
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
And 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 loose 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
A-lottle-dottle-dottle-woof-woof-woof, hep-hep-hep
A-chuck-chuck-chuck, a-dig-dig-dig
