Songs:I've Got A Friend (And He Won't Be Quiet) (107314)

Lyrics

Grimwood/Idlet copyright 2005 Troutoons (BMI)
Inspired by a songwriting workshop in Ft. Smith, AR

I’ve got a friend and he won’t be quiet
Talk, talk, talk, talk, he won’t be quiet.
Even with his mouth full, he won’t be quiet.
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, what did he say?
Nobody’s listening, nobody hears
We want to stuff cotton balls in our ears
He keeps talking, we want to run away
Maybe he’ll run out of things to say.
I’ve got a friend and he won’t be quiet
Talks about soccer, talks about hockey
Talks about the weather, you can’t stop him
All day, every day, you can’t stop him.
Nobody’s listening, nobody hears
We want to stuff baseballs in our ears
He keeps talking, we want to run away
Maybe he’ll run out of things to say.
You might ask why he’s my friend,
It’s hard to explain but he’s my friend.
Even though he’s a loud mouth know-it-all,
He picks me up whenever I fall.
I’ve got a friend and he won’t be quiet,
Take him to the movie, he won’t be quiet.
Talks in the library; talks in his sleep,
If nobody’s there then he talks to his feet.
Nobody’s listening, nobody hears
We want to stuff basketballs in our ears
He keeps talking, we want to run away
Maybe he’ll run out of things to say.
You might ask why he’s my friend,
It’s hard to explain but he’s my friend.
He’s the worst best friend I ever had.
Makes me laugh whenever I’m sad.
I’ve got a friend and he won’t be quiet
Talk, talk, talk, talk, he won’t be quiet.
Even with his mouth full, he won’t be quiet.
Mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble, what did he say?
