She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
   She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
   Oh, it hurts to be that way
   Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
   Here's to Newspaper Joe, dropped his teeth on the floor
   Caught his hand in the door
   Guess that's the way the news goes
  
   If you want to see me
   Sorry, but I 'm not around
   If you want to be me
   Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is
  
   She' my best friend, better than a dog or cat
   She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling down
   Oh, it hurts to be that way
   Oh, it hurts to know that you're that kinda fellow
   Here's to Mullberry Jane, She made jam when she came
   Somebody cut off her feet, now jelly rolls in the street
   If you want to see me
   Sorry, but I 'm not around
   If you want to feel me
   Turn around, I'm by the window where the light is
  
   She's my best friend, certainly not the average girl
   She's my best friend, understands me when I'm falling
  
   Falling down, Falling down, ...
