Old Friends (Part II) Video (MV)

[MARY]
Here's to us—

[FRANK]
Who's like us?

[CHARLEY]
Damn few

[FRANK]
Hey, old friend
Are you okay, old friend?
Whaddaya say, old friend?
Are we or are we unique?

Time goes by
Everything else keeps changing
You and I
We get continued next week

Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
And in a pinch, sure, they'll do
But us, old friend
What's to discuss, old friend?
Here's to us—
Who's like us?
Damn few!

[CHARLEY]
So, old friend
Fill me in slow, old friend—
Start from hello, old friend
I want the when, where, and how
Old friends
Do tend to become old habit—
Never knew
How much I missed you till now

[FRANK, CHARLEY & MARY]
Most friends fade
Or they don't make the grade
New ones are quickly made
Some of them worth something, too
But us, old friends—
What's to discuss, old friends?

[FRANK]
Tell you something:
Good friends point out your lies
Whereas old friends live and let live

[MARY]
Good friends like and advise
Whereas old friends love and forgive

[FRANK]
And old friends let you go your own way—

[CHARLEY]
Help you find your own way—

[MARY]
Let you off when you're wrong—

[FRANK]
If you're wrong—

[CHARLEY]
When you're wrong—

[MARY]
Right or wrong, the point is:
Old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong

[FRANK]
Should, but not for too long

[CHARLEY]
What's too long?

[FRANK]
If you're wrong!

[CHARLEY]
When you're wrong!

[MARY]
The thing is:
Old friends do leave their brands on you
But old friends shouldn't compete

[FRANK]
Old friends don't make demands on you—

[CHARLEY]
Should make demands on you—

[FRANK]
Well, don't make demands you can't meet

[CHARLEY]
Well, what's the
Point of demands you can meet?

[MARY]
Well, there's a time for demands
Whether you meet them or not—

[They squabble.]

[FRANK, CHARLEY & MARY]
Hey, old friends
How do we stay old friends?
Who is to say, old friends
How an old friendship survives?
One day chums
Having a laugh a minute
One day comes
And they're a part of your lives

New friends pour
Through the revolving door
Maybe there's one that's more
If you find one, that'll do
But us, old friends
What's to discuss, old friends?
Here's to us
Who's like us?
Damn few!
