Once upon a time I had a real good friend
At least that's what I thought
But it wasn't long till my good friend
And the man I love got caught
So who in the world is a foolin' who
Let's not kid our self
We can count our friends on one hand
And have five fingers left
Friends are few and far between
Believe me I should know
And a real good way of findin' out
Is let no money show
So who in the world is a foolin' who
Let's not kid our self
We can count our friends on one hand
And have five fingers left
When you're down and out and you need a friend
You'll find they're hard to find
And when you do don't turn your back
Cause you're friend will rob you blind
So who in the world is a foolin' who
Let's not kid our self
We can count our friends on one hand
And have five fingers left
We all know what our enemies will do
It's our friends we've got to watch
Keep your eyes wide open and your big mouth shut
And you'll find out a lot
So who in the world is a foolin' who
Let's not kid our self
We can count our friends on one hand
And have five fingers left
So who in the world is a foolin' who
Let's not kid our self
We can count our friends on one hand
And have five fingers left
