“Do-Dilly-Do (A Friend Like You)”
by Walter Martin
Oh, what a mystery
This crazy world can be
And all the wild stuff that I’ve been through
Searching all around for something true
I went clear from here to Timbuktu
’Til I finally found a friend like you
No I’m not too sure
What I’m always searching for
But I’m searching each day
’Til the day gets late
And wake up on the floor
Buddy I don’t know
Just where that river flows
Yeah all I see
That’s guiding me
Is the fuzz on the end of my nose
But I believe
In destiny
Or whatever it is that brought a friend like you to me
So we sing
La Di Da Di Do De Li Do
A friend like you
Buddy I know you got my back
You even laugh at my cheap wisecracks
And if I fell down, and got turned around you’d put me right back on track
And I’m looking out for you
Cuz buddy I’m a good buddy too
And if you’re in despair you know I’d be there ‘cause that’s what good buddies do
And believe
Camaraderie
Can help us solve all world’s great mysteries
As we sing
La Di Da Di Do De Li Do
A friend like you
HIT IT BUDDY!
(solo)
Everybody now!
La Di Da Di Do De Li Do
A friend like you
What’d I do to get a friend like you?
What’d I do to get a friend like you?
What’d I do…
To get a friend like you
MISSING LINK, an Annapurna Pictures Release of a LAIKA Film, in theaters Friday, April 12!
