Side by Side by Side

I mean, when you've got friends like mine
I mean, when you've got friends like mine
Isn't it warm, isn't it rosy, side by side

She's such a sweetheart
By side?

Isn't she a sweetheart?

Ports in a storm comfy and cozy, side by side

She never loses her cool
By side?
I envy that

Everything shines
How sweet

Side by side

We're just so fond of her

By side
Parallel lines who meet

Love her
Can't get enough of her

Everyone winks
Nobody's nosy
Side by side

She feels exactly the way I do
By side
About everything

You make the drinks and I'll bring the posy
Side by side

She's always there when you need her
By side
That's class

One is lonely, and two is boring, think what you can keep ignoring
Side

She's my best friend
By side
Second-best
By side

Pal and pinch-hitter
Plus a perfect babysitter!
Year after year
Older and older

It's amazing. We've gotten older every year and she seems to stay exactly the same

Sharing a tear, lending a shoulder

You know what comes to my mind when I see her?
The Chrysler building
Isn't that weird?

Always in fun? No strain

Sometimes I catch her looking and looking
I just look right back

Permanent sun, no rain
We're so crazy, she's so sane
Everyone blends, like a good whiskey

A person like Bobbie doesn't have the good things and she doesn't have the bad things
But she doesn't have the good things

Intimate friends, but nothing that's risky

Let me make her a drink
She's the only person I know, I feel should drink more

One's impossible, two is dreary
Three is company, safe and cheery
Side

She always looks like she's keeping score
By side

Who's winning, Bobbie?

Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the doors and
See all the crazy, married people

What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Who would I complain to for hours?
Who'd bring me the flowers when I have the flu?

Who'd finish yesterday's stew?
Who'd take the kids to the zoo?
Who is so cool?
And who is so deep?
And who would keep him (her) company when I want to sleep?
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?

Huff huff huff huff
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Should there be some marital tension
It's her intervention
Let's starts anew

Who could we open up to, secrets we keep from guess-who?
Who is so safe and who is so sound?
You never need an analyst with Bobbie around
How could we ever get through?
What would we do without you?

Huff huff huff huff

What would we do without you?
How would we ever get through?
Who sends anniversary wishes?
Who helps with the dishes
And never says boo?
Who changes subjects on cue?
Who cheers us up when we're blue?

Who is a flirt but never a threat
Reminds us of our birthdays which we always forget?
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?

Huff huff huff huff
What would we do without you?
How would we ever get
How would we ever get
How would we ever get
How would we ever get through?
What would we do without you?

Just what you usually do!

Right!
You who sit with us
You who share with us
You who fit with us
You who bear with us
Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!
Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo!

OKay, now everybody-

Isn't it warm, isn't it rosy, side by side?

Ports in a storm, comfy and cozy, side by side?
Everything shines, how sweet, side by side

Parallel lines who meet, side by side
Year after year, older and older, side by side
Sharing a tear and lending a shoulder, side by side
Two's impossible, two is gloomy, give another number to me
Side by side, by side

By side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side, by side, by side, by side, by side
By side!
