MARY Here's to us — FRANK Who's like us? CHARLEY Damn few. FRANK Hey, old friend, Are you okay, old friend? What do you say, old friend, Are we or are we unique? Time goes by, Everything else keeps changing. You and I, We get continued next week. Most friends fade Or they don't make the grade. New one's are quickly made And in a pinch, sure, they'll do. But us, old friend, What's to discuss, old friend? Here's to us — who's like us? Damn few! CHARLEY So, old friends, Fill me in slow, old friends — Start from hello, old friends, I want the when, where and how. Old friends do Tend to become old habit — Never knew How much I missed you till now. ALL THREE Most friends fade Or they don't make the grade. New ones are quickly made, Some of them worth something, too. But us, old friends — What's to discuss, old friends? — FRANK Tell you something: Good friends point out your lies, Whereas old friends live and let live. MARY Good friends like and advise, Whereas old friends love and forgive. FRANK And old friends let you go your own way — CHARLEY Help you find your own way — MARY Let you off when you're wrong — FRANK If you're wrong — CHARLEY When you're wrong — MARY Right or wrong, the point is: Old friends shouldn't care if you're wrong — FRANK Should, but not for too long — CHARLEY What's too long? FRANK If you're wrong — CHARLEY When you're wrong — MARY The thing is: Old friends do leave their brands on you, But old friends shouldn't compete. FRANK Old friends don't make demands on you — CHARLEY Should make demands on you — FRANK Well, don't make demands you can't meet. CHARLEY Well, what's the Point of demands you can meet? MARY Well, there's a Time for demands, Whether you meet them or not … (They squabble.) ALL Hey, old friends, How do we stay old friends? Who is to say, old friends, How an old friendship survives? One day chums Having a laugh a minute, One day comes And they're a part of your lives. New friends pour Through the revolving door — Maybe there's one that's more. If you find one, that'll do. But us, old friends, What's to discuss, old friends? Here's to us! Who's like us? Two old friends, Fewer won't do, old friends — Gotta have two old friends Helping you balance along: One upbraids you For your faults and fancies, One persuades you That the other one's wrong. Most friends fade Or they don't make the grade. New ones are quickly made, Perfect as long as they're new. But us, old friends, What's to discuss, old friends? Here's to us! Who's like us? Damn few!
