These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles
In the light
My friend!
My faithful friend!
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know
You've been locked
Out of sight
All these years!
Like me, my friend!
Well, I've come home
To find you waiting
Home
And we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
You there, my friend
I'm your friend too, mr. Todd
Come, let me hold you
Lovett. Tf you only knew, mr. todd
Now, with a sigh
Ooh, mr. Todd!
You grow warm in my hand
You're warm in my hand
My friend!
You've come home!
My clever friend!
Always had a fondness for you, I did
Rest now, my friend
Never you fear, mr. Todd
Soon I'll unfold you
You can move in here, mr. Todd
Soon you'll know
Will be yours!
My lucky friend!
I'm your friend! And you're mine!
Till now your shine
Don't they shine beautiful?
Was merely silver!
Silver's good enough for me, mr. T
Friend
You shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious
Rubies
At last, my arm is complete again!
