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...
