(One two) One two (One two) One two
(One two) (One two three four)......[gibberish talking]

I got a friend that nobody knows, nobody knows but me
I got a friend that nobody knows, nobody knows but me
Ooh, mama please don't tell it to myself again
I know she thinks I've fought up my mind
But I'm a-really telling to my secret friend, but we get along just so fine

I got a friend that nobody hears, nobody hears but me
I got a friend that nobody hears, nobody hears but me
Oh I always wanna sleep while my daddy says, I'll kiss him when I turn out the light
But my friend is sitting on the edge of the bed, talks to me everynight

But everybody says he took a stage on him and everybody says I'm just a kid
Faith in the tunnel took the places on him
Well looky-looky-looky, well my fingers are ditty-ditty-ditty
Wop-bop-bop-a-lup-bop-a-lop-bam-boom

Well I got a friend that nobody sees, nobody sees but me
I got a friend that nobody sees, nobody sees but me, that's right now...
I got a friend that nobody knows, nobody knows but me
I got a friend that nobody knows, nobody hears, nobody sees
Nobody's spoken to, but nobody cares, knows but me...
