Best Friend

Lyrics

[Diane] Is it someone you can count on Always and forever Does he leave you feeling swell? [Peter, spoken] Yeah, I guess [Diane] Is he someone you can whisper Every private secret Knowing he would never tell? [Peter, spoken] Yeah, that one for sure [Diane] Well, it sounds a lot like you have found the person [Peter] That I'd walk through fire for and keep on going! [Diane] Oh, wow, okay! [Peter, spoken] Oh! Sorry [Diane, spoken] Why? [Diane] You want to shout it out Go on and shout about The way he makes you feel inside! Oh, everything's better with a very best friend Staying true together Getting through whatever! Days are red letter! Life is fun with a friend! B-E-S-T [Peter] F-R-I-E-N-D [Diane] And a heart over the I! Life is just better With a best friend! Na na na na na [Peter] Na na na na na [Diane] Na na na na-- [Peter, spoken] So, who's your best friend? [Diane, spoken] My mom. I tell her everything. We're really close I think because I'm... adopted [Peter, spoken] I know. I've met your parents. They're black [Diane, spoken] Oh, right. Plus, I spent a lot of time with her 'cause I was homeschooled-- or home-"cooled", as my mom and I called it! [Peter, spoken] Do you really feel like anything is possible? [Diane, spoken] Well, with a best friend, sure! [Diane] Someone you can lean on [Peter] Someone you can love to Even if you don't know why [Diane, spoken] I hear ya [Peter, spoken] Do you? [Diane] Someone to look up to [Peter] Kinda like a soulmate The all-around perfect guy [Diane, spoken] You're really getting this! [Peter] A boy to make me with [Diane] A friend to bake with! [Peter] Gonna get butt-naked-- [Peter, spoken] OH MY GOD, just as friends, they do it in Sweden! [Diane, spoken] I didn't know that! [Peter, spoken] Isn't it crazy? [Peter] You want to stand and sing it And you want to tell the world That everything's better with a very best friend Standing true together Them with you forever Days are red letter! Life is fun with a friend! [Peter] B-O-Y-F-R-I- [Diane] Huh? [Peter] E-N-D! [Peter, spoken] Ah! I'm just a terrible speller! [Diane, spoken] Oh, me too! [Both] Best friends get you through [Peter] Your days when you're doubtin' [Diane] Can make all your outfits! [Peter] You chase away monsters [Diane] Can help explain Kwanza [Peter] Embracing your feeling And maybe revealing [Diane] She's my whole world! [Peter] He's my whole world! [Both] (S)he's my best friend! My best friend!
