I got a friend with a special deal
He's selling cars, and they're quite a steal
You just don't ask where they came from, or you lose
He's made you another offer you can't refuse.

I got a friend in the world of junk
You never ask what is in his trunk
It could be trash of the industrial kind
Or someone who had a different offer in mind.

Friendship can be a very tricky business
When all your friends are also family.
Just don't count on your luck
Cover your back, or you're stuck
Making a break to hold onto sanity.

I got a friend in the funeral biz

His Uncle Sal's a computer whiz

They've got a friend who makes predictions we can use
Just watch out for the offer you can't refuse.

I got a friend in the gambling world
Casino life's full of risk and girls
He's got a friend who'll watch your business for a price
Just be sure the offer you take is nice.

Friendship can be a very sticky business
When all your friends are also family
Just don't stray from the pack
When everyone's at the track
You might find your pony out with a broken knee.

I got a friend who know all the stars
You'd never know he is behind bars

He's got a friend with a limo he'll gladly lend

Who needs the yellow pages when you've got friends?
