Mailbox: Can a mailbox and a salt shaker be friends? Steve: Hmm. That's a good question Mailbox and Mr. Salt: We're wondering why We wanna know Why we like each other so Why, oh why, are we such good friends? Mailbox: Your home is the kitchen Mr. Salt: Your home is ze yard Mailbox: You're so spicy! Mr. Salt: You're such a card! Mailbox and Mr. Salt: Why, oh why, are we such good friends? Mailbox: You know, we like totally different things Mr. Salt: For example? Mailbox: I like a-hoppin' and a-boppin' with the ball in the yard And a groovy jigsaw puzzle if it's not too hard Mr. Salt: I like a-shakin' and a-bakin' kooky cookies in ze kitchen Healthy snackin', stomach-packin', lip-smackin' good nutrition! Mailbox: I like postage stamps, summer camps, racin' cars on racin' ramps Musical chairs and your savoir faire Mr. Salt: Groceries and toast with cheese A juice pop, please Mailbox and Mr. Salt: With as many different likes as these Why, oh why, are we such good friends? Mailbox: You know, Mr. Salt, it really seems like there's only differences between us! Mr. Salt: Ah, it really does seem zat way Mailbox: But it's your differences that make you such a good friend! I mean, that's what I like the best! Mr. Salt: Really? Mailbox: Yeah, it's true! Mr. Salt: I feel that way, too! Mailbox: I've always admired your holy, shiny head! Mr. Salt: Oh, how great for you to have a flag instead! Mailbox and Mr. Salt: Maybe that's why we're such good friends! Mr. Salt: I love your metal Mailbox: And I love your glass We've only one thing in common Mailbox and Mr. Salt: We both have class Why, oh why, are we such good friends?

Mailbox: Groceries and toast with cheese A juice pop, please Mailbox and Mr. Salt: With as many different likes as these Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?
