WE CAN GET ALONG
Author(s): Barry
Songbook: Best Friends
KeyWords: Teamworking,

We can get along.
Yes, we can get along.

There's a boy I know and he really talks loud,
You can hear his every word above a crowd.
He doesn't need a microphone, his voice is like a megaphone,
But I'm his friend and he's a friend of mine.

And there's a girl in my school, she hardly ever talks,
She does a little waddle when she walks.
She often likes to be alone, reading books and staying home,
But I'm her friend and she's a friend of mine.

Chorus 1
We're all different in so many ways,
Different shapes and sizes and traits.
We're not perfect and we make mistakes,
But we can learn to get along.
Love and understanding are what it takes,
So that we can get along.

There's a boy on my team who's always missing the ball,
When he runs he often stumbles and falls.
He may not have coordination, but without a hesitation
I'm his friend and he's a friend of mine.

My next door neighbor is a new kid in town,
He doesn't seem to know his way around.
He was born in a foreign land, his accent's hard to understand,
But I'm his friend and he's a friend of mine.

Chorus 2
We're all different in so many ways,
Different shapes and sizes and traits.
We're not perfect and we make mistakes,
But we can learn to get along.
Love and understanding are what it takes,
So that we can get along.
Love and understanding are what it takes,
So that we can get along.

We can get along.
[Yes! We get a long.]
Yes, we can get along.
