It was no raft of the Medusa

And no flashy cabin cruiser

But it was famous port to portParis to New York

Yeah and we coasted proud and strong

As we sailed our way along

On a ship called Friendship First

Always Friendship First

The storms that tossed us all around

To never make our ship go down

Those of jealous kind that wished

We′d be lost at sea

But the sailors and the the captain

Would just never let it happen

And for better or for worse

It was Friendship First

Awake, a good word they hardly said

The good book they never read

But I would hardly change a thing

Hardly change a thing

We were all on the same boat

And helped each other stay afloat

On a ship called Friendship First

Always Friendship First

Hit it

Fiddle

All through Trafalgar and Titanic

Through SOS we never panicked

In turns one would take the wheel

While the others sleep

And over seven seas beyond

You know we formed the strongest bond

On a ship called Friendship First

Always Friendship First

We would not miss a rendezvous

If one of us did not come through

He must be dead or falling through

A hole in the sea

That hole's still open and our tears

Could not fill it in a hundred years

Thinking of that Friendship First

Always Friendship First

In life I′ve taken many boats

From battleships to water jokes

But the one I've loved the best

Carried all my friends

And wherever I may sail

I'll remember we rose and fell

On a ship called Friendship First

Always Friendship First
