Can't You Do A Friend A Favour? 1943

You can count your friends
On the fingers of your hand.
If you're lucky, you have two.
I have just two friends,
That is all that I demand.
Only two, just me and you.
And a good friend heeds a friend
When a good friend needs a friend.

Can't you do a friend a favour?
Can't you fall in love with me?
Life alone can lose its flavour,
You could make it sweet, you see!
I'm the dish you ought to savour,
Something warm and something new;
I could do my friend a favour,
I could fall in love with you.

Can't you do a friend a favour?
Let us part the way we meet.
Life with you would have a flavour
Sweet at times, yet bitter sweet.
I'm no dish you ought to savour.
Feast your eye on something new.
I will do my friend a favour:
I'll be just a friend to you.
