I'd rather have a friend so true
than wine and dine with kings.
I'd rather have a friend faithful
than walk all day with nobles.
I'd rather have a friend loving
than live in a house of gold.
I'd rather have a friend caring
than a world wide fame
I'd rather have a friend as you
than have the whole world in my hands.
