Best Friend Lyrics by Split Enz

The Rootin Tootin Luton Tapes

0

We can hear you, we want to get down
We're down with you

Ow, ow
Ye-haw, ye-haw, yeah, yeah
Ye-haw, ye-haw, yeah, yeah
I'm going down to the woodshed, baby
Got my gumboots on
I'm going down to the tractor, baby
Seventy-nine and wee-by
And wee-by

Eddie Rayner, calling for
Eddie Rayner
Eddie Rayner
Got the tractor out of the woodshed

You're my best friend, you help me
Face the facts with your flights of fancy
You're the one I want to hobnob with
You're a man after my own heart

Two is company, three's a crowd
At my temper with family circle
Have to pay the penalty
Just another allied casualty

You're my best friend, you're my only
Won't break or bend, you're no phony

Melodrama, make me snap
Now, my sidekick is the world and his way
Come and help me right some wrongs
We're in limbo, bollocks a kimbo

CHORUS
You're my best friend, you're my only
Won't break or bend, you're no phony
I don't see you, we're still friendly
Separate not for love or money

That's how it is for me and my friend
We hold each other aloft
We go crafting together
We take the smooth with the rough

CHORUS
