Why can't we be friends ^4x I seen round for a long long time I really remember when you drank my wine Why can't we be friends ^4x I seen walkin' down in Chinatown I called but you did not look around Why can't we be friends ^4x I pay my money to the welfare line I seen standing in it everytime Why can't we be friends ^4x the color of your skin don't matter to me as long as we can live in harmony Why can't we be friends ^4x I kinda, like to be the president and I could show you how your money's spent Why can't we be friends ^4x Sometimes I don't speak right But did I know what I was talking about Why can't we be friends ^4x I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the mafia Why can't we be friends ^{4x Repeat to fade}
