Lyrics

“We’re Going To Be Friends”


Fall is here, hear the yell

back to school, ring the bell

brand new shoes, walking blues

climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

I can tell that we are gonna be friends


Walk with me, Suzy Lee

through the park and by the tree

we will rest upon the ground

and look at all the bugs we found

safely walk to school without a sound

safely walk to school without a sound


Here we are, no one else

we walked to school all by ourselves

there’s dirt on our uniforms

from chasing all the ants and worms

we clean up and now it’s time to learn

we clean up and now it’s time to learn


Numbers, letters, learn to spell

nouns, and books, and show and tell

playtime we will throw the ball

back to class, through the hall

teacher marks our height against the wall

teacher marks our height against the wall


We don’t notice any time pass

we don’t notice anything

we sit side by side in every class

teacher thinks that I sound funny

but she likes the way you sing


Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed

when silly thoughts go through my head

about the bugs and alphabet

and when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet

that you and I will walk together again

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends.
