Recorded by Moon Mullican in 1960. Third verse by Alex Ellis, Fourth verse by Armand Aromin
Chorus:
Make friends, make friends, make friends, try to make friends
While traveling through this world, try to make friends
Wear a smile, not a frown, don’t you put your neighbor down
While traveling through this world, try to make friends
Make friends with the rich, make friends with the poor
Make friends with the high, make friends with the low
Even the little child, you oughta greet him with a smile
While traveling through this world, try to make friends
Sometimes you may be weak, sometimes you may be strong
Sometimes talked about, and sometimes treated wrong
But you just can’t miss, if you just remember this
While traveling through this world, try to make friends
Some say you gotta work, some say you gotta pray
Some say you gotta save, and wait for that rainy day
But you’ll always come up dry just as long as you don’t try
And while traveling through this world, try to make friends
Make friends to the left, make friends to the right
Make friends in between and those on the outside
There’s no day but today so when you greet your neighbor say
While traveling through this world, try to make friends
