Story behind the song
Three part a capella song about friendship. "I am your friend, if you are boring /
I will teach you lightbulb jokes, no need to despair / Unlike O.J. and Beanie Babies or a lame Survivor fad / I will always be there." Recorded in concert in the UK, Feb/2000.

JODI:
=====
I am your friend, I will not leave you, even if you want me to
I'll go anywhere
But like reruns of Classic Star Trek or the Partridge Family
I will always be there.
Even if you steal my boyfriend, even if you
run over my chihuahua with your station wagon,
I'll always be your friend.
I am your friend, if you are hungry
I will feed you chocolate, cake and ginger tea
And when you're tired, I'll fluff your pillow
and sing you a lullaby, you can count on me.
Even if you eat my goldfish, even if you
sing me the Macarena again and again and again,
I'll always be your friend
I'll be your...I'll be your friend
the very...the very end
(A: Even if you)
spit into my food when I'm not looking and you're rude to my Aunt
Moira and you spill a vat of chili on my dress, then you
say you don't like chocolate, girl how could you not like chocolate maybe
you should get your head looked at real soon but I digress...
I am your friend, if you are boring
I will teach you lightbulb jokes, no need to despair
Unlike O.J. and beany babies or a lame Survivor fad
I will always be there.
Even if you hate my haircut, even if you get
drunk at my birthday party and then throw up all over my rug
I'll always be your friend.
ALLISON:
I will not leave you, even if you want me to
I'll go anywhere
like reruns of Star Trek or the Partridge Family
I will always be there.
Even if you steal my boyfriend, even if you
run over my chihuahua with your station wagon,
I'll always be your friend.
If you are hungry, I will feel you chocolate
Cake and ginger tea
I'll fluff your pillow, and sing you a lullaby
You can count on me.
Even if you eat my goldfish, even if you
sing me the Macarena again and again and again
I'll always be your friend.
I'll always be your friend
until the very end
Even if you
spit into my food when I'm not looking and you're rude to my Aunt
Moira and you spill a vat of chili on my dress, then you
say you don't like chocolate, girl how could you not like chocolate maybe
you should get your head looked at real soon but I digress...
If you are boring, I will teach you lightbulb jokes
No need to despair
Oh not like O.J. or a Teletubby fad
I will always be there
Even if you hate my haircut, even if you get
drunk at my birthday party and then throw up all over my rug
I'll always be your friend.

Oh I am your friend, never leave you, even if you want me to
I'll go anywhere
oh like reruns of Classic Star Trek or the Partridge Family
I will always be there.
Even if you steal my boyfriend, even if you
run over my chihuahua with your station wagon,
I'll always be your friend.
Oh I am your friend, really hungry, I will feed you chocolate
Cake and ginger tea
Oh, i-if you are tired, fluff your pillow and sing you a lullaby
You can count on me.
Even if you eat my goldfish, even if you
sing me the Macarena again and again and again
I'll always be your friend
I'll be your friend
