Words & Music by Duncan Wells

I knew a man, he wore a bucket on his head
he never talked, said he didn't have a friend
but, you know, you got to take the bucket off
if you ever want to see where you're going.

So, clap your hands
if you want your friends to stay
give a hoot
so they'll never go away
you can laugh
you can whistle while you play

I know a girl, she said she didn't like her nose
'cos it was big, but that's just the way it goes
and it goes, pretty good with a friend
who can tell you that you look just fine.

So, clap your hands
if you want your friends to stay
give a hoot
so they'll never go away
you can laugh
you can whistle while you play

I got a friend, she says she doesn't like to play
it isn't fun, she said she'd rather go and lay
in her room, on her bed and think about
all the friends she could have had if she wanted.

So, clap your hands
if you want your friends to stay
give a hoot
so they'll never go away
you can laugh
you can whistle while you play

So here's a song, we want you all to sing along
and clap your hands, move your mouth and make a sound
for a friend, who might be wondering if you
really truly want to be their friend tomorrow.

So, clap your hands
if you want your friends to stay
give a hoot
so they'll never go away
you can laugh
you can whistle while you play
