This Friendly World Lyrics
(ANDY:) Hi, Michael
(MICHAEL:) Hi, Andy. Thanks for joining us. Do you
Wanna ... you wanna sing a song together?
(ANDY:) Sure! Is it a sweet song?
(MICHAEL:) Yeah, it's real sweet

(MICHAEL:)
In this friendly, friendly world
With each day so full of joy
Why should any heart be lonely?
(ANDY:) My turn!
In this friendly, friendly world
With each night so full of dreams
Why should any heart be afraid?
