Lyrics
Thank you very much We've been up here singin' all evening So we kinda like you to join us on one if you would please This has always been my favorite singalong song in the whole world It comes from my home state of Texas It's called, "He Was a Friend of Mine" Hey! Is-is there somebody from Texas back there? (Not yet) Is that right? Big deal! It goes something like this (It goes exactly like this) Ah, it-it-it goes exactly like this (Right) Well, he was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine He died without a penny Didn't have a dime But he was friend of mine You think you can handle it? (Well he) Okay, everybody Wha-wha-wait a minute Excuse me, I didn't mean to interrupt But I gotta show 'em my inventory (Oh yes) Listen, y'all, people when they end this song Just end it you know "He was a friend of mine" blah And that's all there is to it But we have AHHH! something special for ya So I wish you'd pay real close attention to everything So you can kinda singalong with us you know Really make you know a real big hotdog ending and everything Well, he-ee Did you get that little ee-ee? You gotta remember that That's kinda important and everything, see But this is the best part Was a friend of mi-i-ine How does that grab you? (Yeah) Okay, everybody singalong and really put your heart into it And hotdog! I guess I'm excited Well, he-ee was friend of mine He was a friend of mine He died without a penny Didn't have a dime But he-ee was friend of mine One more time, everybody He-ee was friend of mine He was a friend of mine He died without a penny Didn't have a dime But he-ee was friend of mine We got it I don't know-oh where he come from I don't know where he come from Now, one day he was there Next day he was gone I don't know-oh where he come from Everybody sing Well, he-ee was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine He died without a penny Didn't have a dime But he-ee was friend of mine I stole away and cried I stole away and cried The tears they fell like raindrops The night that my friend died I stole away and cried By yourselves (He-ee was a friend of mine) Wait a cotton-pickin' minute That's pretty cruddy Now here, there's, there's about 800 to 1,000 people here You come here, it's the big night of the week, right? Saturday night, everybody gets excited Probably got your favorite date You probably took a bath You come out here for a big evening You sit out there and get senile (Yeah, senile) Now, look you guys This is my favorite singalong in the whole world And I want you to really get into it You know and just sing your heart out Because, you know, if you, if you do it right You get chills all over Yeah, so everybody one more time now I really expect to hear it now, here we go (Well, he-ee was a friend of mine) Let's go (He was a friend of mine) Alright (He died without a penny) (Didn't have a dime) (But he-ee was friend of mine) Now, why didn't you do that the first time? Clods! Ok, now look, I want everybody to sing it once real soft and quiet And-and-and we're gonna sing harmonies and stuff He-ee was a friend of mine He was a friend of mine He died without a penny He didn't have a dime But he-ee was a friend of mine Let's really hit it now (He-ee was a friend of mine) Lord, Lord, Lord (He was a friend of mine) (He died without a penny) (Didn't have a dime) (But he-ee was a friend of mine) Let's end it now Well, hee-ee Alright, you guys When you do a singalong You gotta follow the bouncing folk singer, right? Okay, one more time When I cut it off, everybody cut it off (Like a knife) (Well, hee-ee-ee) The retarded section One more time (Well, hee-ee) I tell ya what, we're gettin' there But what we've gained in precision, we've lost in soul Will everybody sing it one more time now? Really get into it you guys You know, really right deep right down in the old pack of cigarettes That was wrong (Well, hee-ee) Alright, one more time (Well, hee-ee-ee) I almost loved it (Was a friend of mi-i-ine)
