Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know a lad and when I feel bad,
He drives all me troubles away
When he's your friend he's yours to de end
No matter what others may say
He don't tell me how I ought to be
He likes me just as I am
So, when I gets blue, he's the one I go to
For his heart is as big as a ham

[Chorus 1]

He's me pal, He's me pal
Dere ain't nobody else I can see
I know he's dead tough, but his love ain't no blluff
He'd share his last dollar with me
I'd rather have him with his fifteen a week
Than be some old millionaire's gal
He's de best ever wuz, and I love him becuz
He's me pal. He's me pal

[Verse 2]

My pal is poor, but I am sure
He's better than most millionaires
I'm satisfied when he's at me side
Me joys and me troubles he shares
I'd give me arm to keep him from harm,
He'd do de same thing for me
He'll always be there, stormy weather or fair
That's de reason I like him you see

[Chorus 2]

He's me pal, He's me pal
Dere ain't nobody else I can see
I know he's dead tough, but his love ain't no bluff
He'd share his last dollar with me
He's rough there's no doubt but if you're down and out
He's gentle and kind as a gal
He's de best ever wuz, and I love him becuz
He's me pal. He's me pal

[Verse 3/Mother verse]

Friends may be few, friends may be true,
But I have one dear friend of old
Bless her dear heart, we will never part
For she loves me better than gold
When she is near I have no fear
No harm to me can befall
She's patient resigned, she's loving and kind
And I know she's the best friend of all

[Chorus 3]

She's me pal. She's me pal
She's the very best friend that I know
Her heart's full of love as the heavens above
She's drives away sorrow and woe
I'll try to repay all her kindness to me
And if God be willing I shall
I have one friend that's true dear old mother that's you
You're me pal. You're me pal
