Lyrics (2014)[]
Chuck E.: You tell me that I'm crazy
You think that I've gone mad
Despite the things you do you're in the top 37 friends I've had
You took my last slice of pizza
You put gum in my hair
But I'll be right here by your side even if you don't want me there
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of everything you do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of what my other friends would recommend (All: We're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
From beginning to the end (All: We're friends)
And on me you can depend
Because we're friends
I'll get you with my kindness
Helen: And pummel you with cheer
Jasper: I'll knock you out with gloves of gladness
Munch: And I'll smile away your sneer
Pasqually: I'll be the rainbow to your shower
Jasper: The silver lining to your gray
Helen: And in your coldest darkest winter
Chuck E.: I'll be your Christmas day
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of everything you do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of what my other friends would recommend (All: We're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
And to this friendship I will tend (We're friends)
And on me you can depend
Because we're friends
All: Because we're friends (6x)
Chuck E.: So, don't pretend.
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Chuck E.: And don't offend!
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Chuck E.: Cause I will commend.
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Chuck E.: Every email that I send.
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Chuck E.: Cause it'll pay big dividends.
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Chuck E.: Which is..um
All: Because we're friends (2x)
Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of everything you do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: In spite of what my other friends would recommend (All: We're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
And together we will blend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
And despite all the latest trends (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
And our friendship with transcend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
4 out of 5 doctors recommend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
So take the hand that I extend (All: We're friends)
And when this song comes to an end
We will be friends
Lyrics (2020)[]
Chuck E.: When things feel kind of crazy
Sometimes when I feel sad
What I like to do is think of you,
And all the great times we've had
So, I'm sending you this message
To let you know that I care
And to tell you that I'm still by your side,
Even if I can't be there
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: We're doing all we can do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: And you know on one another
We can depend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
From beginning to the end (All: Because we're friends)
And to this friendship I will tend
Because we're friends
So we'll be thinking of you
And you'll be in our heart
Jasper: And we're gonna stay connected for as long as we're apart
Bella: And we'll still be here for you
Pasqually: And we'll keep checking in
Chuck E.: And we'll all work together, until we get to be together again
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: We're doing all we can do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: And you know on one another
We can depend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
From beginning to the end (All: Because we're friends)
And to this friendship I will tend
Because we're friends
All: Because we're friends (8x)
Because we're friends
Chuck E.: We're doing all we can do
All: Because we're friends
Chuck E.: And you know on one another
We can depend (All: Because we're friends)
Yeah, we're friends
From beginning to the end (All: Because we're friends)
Helen: Yeah, we're friends
I have some books I could recommend (All: Because we're friends)
Pasqually: Yeah, we're friends
With every pizza that they send (All: Because we're friends)
Jasper: Yeah, we're friends
And I'm sorry if I offend (All: Because we're friends)
Munch: Yeah, we're friends
Even if I pretend (All: Because we're friends)
Helen: Yeah, we're friends
Like the garden that I tend
And when this song comes to an end, we'll still be friends (Because we're friends)

Trivia[]
- This is the only song in the Fall 2014 Show to be an original, rather then a cover. Ironically, the aforementioned show would be the last to feature actual song covers/parodies.
- This song is also the only song from the Fall 2014 Show to be used more then once, again likely attributed to the fact it's an original.
- The original version from 2014 features Annagrey Wiechman as Helen Henny, while the 2020 and 2022 versions feature Caroline Taylor as Helen.
