Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
La, la, la, la, la, laa
La, la, la, la, la, la

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 1: Harold Brown]
I've seen you 'round for a long long time
I remembered you when you drank my wine

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 2]
I've seen you walking down in Chinatown
I called you, but you could not look around

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 3]
I paid my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 4]
The color of your skin don't matter to me (Ow!)
As long as we can live in harmony

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 5]
I'd kind of like to be the President (Oh yeah!)
So I can show you how your money's spent, hoo!

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 6: Lee Oskar]
Sometimes, I don't speak right
But yet, I know what I'm talking about

[Chorus: All]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 7]
I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-A

[Outro]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
