He’s not fond of her
'Cause she ruffles his fur

Can't find my Nans red woolly scarf

But it worked out, and we are still friends

But it worked out, and we are still friends
A cup of sugar she still lends

But it worked out, and we are still friends
A cup of sugar she still lends
A lift I still give

But it worked out, and we are still friends
A cup of sugar she still lends
A lift I still give
Still love her dearly

But it worked out, and we are still friends
A cup of sugar she still lends
A lift I still give
As long as I live

But it worked out, and we are still friends
A cup of sugar she still lends
A lift I still give
As long as I live
Deep friendship, like ours, never ends

A happy new year to you all
The long and the short and the tall
The fat and the slim
