Once I was proud of having been around the world
And I knew once a girl who was round pretty and sound
Loved to go down and was my friend
Once my friends knew of us being two together
And they at once were saying that girl is round
Pretty but unsound
Loves to go down but isn't your friend
Who are these friends of mine
Do they really know me or really want what's mine
Who are these friends of mine
Would they really show me or really leave me blind
Who are these friends of mine
Will they leave us be or be just so unkind
Once she saw how I was unsure to stay with her as
All of my friends were sure that she was too round pretty and unsound
Loved to go down yet I wasn't her friend
