Sing along: Skater Boy

Friendship and TV series

There are loads of TV series which deal with the topic of friendship, even their opening themes do. I'm sure you've heard from all of these.



Thank you for being a friend.
Travelled down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.
And if you threw a party,
invited everyone you knew,
you would see, the biggest gift would be from me
and the card attached would say:
'Thank you for being a friend'.



Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see
Troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name.
You wanna go where peolpe know
People are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows your name

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year
but..

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...
