Lyrics:

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

I seen ya around for a long long time
I really remember you when you drank my wine

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Id seen ya walkin down in Chinatown
I called ya but you could not look around

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

I pay my money to the welfare line
I see ya standing in it every time

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

The color of your skin dont matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Id kinda like to be the president
So I could show you how your moneys spent

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Sometimes I dont speak right
But yet I know what Im talking about

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

I know youre working for the CIA
They wouldnt have you in the mafia

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends

Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
Why cant we be friends
(fade)
