It was no raft of the Medusa
And no flashy cabin cruiser
But it was famous port to portParis to New York
Yeah and we coasted proud and strong
As we sailed our way along
On a ship called Friendship First
Always Friendship First
The storms that tossed us all around
To never make our ship go down
Those of jealous kind that wished
We′d be lost at sea
But the sailors and the the captain
Would just never let it happen
And for better or for worse
It was Friendship First
Awake, a good word they hardly said
The good book they never read
But I would hardly change a thing
Hardly change a thing
We were all on the same boat
And helped each other stay afloat
On a ship called Friendship First
Always Friendship First
Hit it
Fiddle
All through Trafalgar and Titanic
Through SOS we never panicked
In turns one would take the wheel
While the others sleep
And over seven seas beyond
You know we formed the strongest bond
On a ship called Friendship First
Always Friendship First
We would not miss a rendezvous
If one of us did not come through
He must be dead or falling through
A hole in the sea
That hole's still open and our tears
Could not fill it in a hundred years
Thinking of that Friendship First
Always Friendship First
In life I′ve taken many boats
From battleships to water jokes
But the one I've loved the best
Carried all my friends
And wherever I may sail
I'll remember we rose and fell
On a ship called Friendship First
Always Friendship First
