The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
'Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
Oh, the more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
There's Chris and Tanya
And Jason and Jusitn
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
The more we get together
Together, together
The more we get together
The happier we'll be
'Cause your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends
The more we get together
The happier we'll be

THE MORE WE ARE TOGETHER
Jimmy Campbell/Reg Connelly  
under the pseudonym Irving King 1926

Here’s a little melody Will make you feel O.K.
Just the thing you all should sing
To finish up the day.
When the party’s over
And you’re singing “au revoir,”
All join hands and sing it,
Just before you close the door.

Chorus 
The more we are together, together, together,
Oh! The more we are together
The merrier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends,
So, the more we are together,
The merrier we’ll be.

When you’re feeling thirsty and
The froth you wan to blow,
Sing this little anthem
Raise your voices all you know.
Never be down-hearted,
Face your troubles with a smile,
Hum this chorus heartily
And life will be worthwhile.

Chorus 
The more we are together, together, together,
Oh! The more we are together
The merrier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends
And my friends are your friends,
So, the more we are together,
The merrier we’ll be.

The more we are together, together, together, 
Oh!, The more we are together the merrier we'll be.
For your friends are my friends and my friends are your friends.
So the more we are together the merrier we'll be.

Brown had been out on the spree for hours and hours and hours.
All his friends had been so kind, They'd overtaxed his powers.
Policeman spied him stagg'ring home and said "You're drunk. I fear".
Brown just smiled and hiccupped as he murmured "Bobby dear".
