Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  

If You Want a Friend

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1976 Schroder Music Company, renewed 2004.

If you want to have a friend,
Be a friend,
If you want to see a smile,
Be a smile,
If you want to have people around you
Who are brave and strong and bright,
Be brave and strong,
And stand up for your rights,
And be a friend.
