Fair Weather Friends

Lyrics

Once there was a little red bird And he sang the prettiest song All the people applauded And said he was the best to come along So they built him a cage in the city And they camped every night by his door They said, "Now don't get nervous We only want to hear you sing some more" Hear you sing Fare you well, fair-weather friends Goodbye, you're gone Fare you well, fair-weather friends I was somebody you believed in All summer long, he sang for the people Then he noticed the nights getting cold And the cage is a prison Even though the bars are made of gold Then all the people flew south As the summer turned into fall They never said goodbye Never heard him sing again at all Heard him sing Fare you well, fair-weather friends Goodbye, you're gone Fare you well, fair-weather friends I was somebody you believed in There's an old empty branch On an old, empty tree There's an old empty song That doesn't mean a thing to you or me Oh, sometimes it's hard to remember And you sometimes remember it wrong Tell me, how did it go The song that was the best to come along? Did it go? Fare you well, fair-weather friends Goodbye, you're gone Fare you well, fair-weather friends I was somebody you believed in Fare you well, fair-weather friends Goodbye, you're gone Fare you well, fair-weather friends I was somebody you believed in
