Help From My Friends
Driving through a wooded park
Full moon night, listening to Joe
Cocker sing about getting by
With help from his friends
He lets out a wail and I find myself
Doing the same thing only more
Like high soprano scream
The dog (Coz) looks at me like I’m
Crazy and then raises his head
And likewise wails
(he thinks he’s kin to Joe Cocker too)
Felt so good that we just kept on wailing
Till we got to a main road with houses
Then we decided that the funny farm and
The dog pound might take us away
If they saw me, Coz and Joe still
Wailing about how desperately we
Needed love and our friends
