Track byThe Bob Brookmeyer Orchestra
Some of my best friends are very nice Often they come to me and offer free advice They say the merry-go-round you ride on travels too fast They worried about my future, they tell me about your past Some of my best friends don't seem to know Our love will live though years may come and go They say you'll play a game and break all the rules They say that you'll light a flame that suddenly cools They're intelligent people from the finest of schools But some of my best friends are fools Some of my best friends are not so smart How can their eyes begin to read what's in your heart They say you'll play a game and break all the rules They say that you'll light a flame that suddenly cools They're intelligent people from the finest of schools But some of my best friends are nothing but fools
