Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la
Why can’t we be friends?
I seen you around for a long, long time
I remembered you when you drank my wine
I seen you walking down in Chinatown
I call you but you could not look around
I pay my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time
The color of your skin don’t matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony
I’d kinda like to be the president
So I can show you how your money’s spent
Sometimes I don’t speak right
But yet I know what I’m talking about
I know you’re working for the CIA
They wouldn’t have you in the mafia
I want to be your friend
Why can’t we be friends
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
