Well I had to laugh

I saw a photograph of someone that I knew

It 's just a friend of mine

But it's so hard to find

I don't know what to do


I gotta call her on the telephone

Yes, I gotta call her

She's never at home


I don't know what to do if I do get through

I won't know what to say

Say a "how-do-you-do?"

You've got an hour or two

I'm trying to make my money pay

I gotta call her on the telephone

Yes, I gotta call her

She's never at home


Never mind the trouble

No trouble at all

All I ask of you, woman

Is to answer me when I call


Well I had to laugh

I saw a photograph of someone that I knew

It's just a friend of mine

But it's so hard to find

I don't know what to do


I gotta call her on the telephone

Yes, I gotta call her

She's never at home


Friend, hard to find a friend

Friend, hard to find a friend

Friend, hard to find a friend

Friend, hard to find a friend

Friend...
