  Extrait de "You've Got a Friend":
  
      Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
      When people can be so cold
      They'll hurt you, and desert you
      And take your soul if you let them
      Oh, but don't you let them
      You just call out my name
      And you know wherever I am
      I'll come running to see you again
      Winter, spring, summer or fall
      All you have to do is call
      And I'll be there
      You've got a friend
