FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS
(Malcolm Lockyer / Marvin Scott)

Billy Cotton & his Band

Also recorded by : Sammy Kaye.


When you've got friends and neighbours
All the world is a happier place
Friends and neighbours
Put a smile on the gloomiest face
Just take your little troubles and share `em
With the folks next door
Make's it twice as easy to bear `em
That's what friends are for
`cos if you've friends and neighbours
That is something money won't buy
You can hold your head up high
Although you've not a penny
And your house may be tumbling down
With friends and neighbours
You're the richest man in town.

(Orchestral interlude)

`cos if you've friends and neighbours
That is something money won't buy
You can hold your head up high
Although you've not a penny
And your house may be tumbling down
With friends and neighbours
You're the richest man in town.
