Best of friends (Johnston / Fidel)

When you're the best of friends
having so much fun together
you're not even aware,
you're such a funny pair
you're the best of friends

Life's a happy game
you could clown around forever
neither one of you sees
your natural boundaries
life's one happy game

If only the world wouldn't get in the way
If only people would just let you play
they say you're both being fools
you're breaking all the rules
they can't understand
the magic of your wonderland

When you're the best of friends
sharing all that you discover
when that moment has past
will that friendship last ?
who can say ? there's a way !
oh I hope, I hope it never ends
cause you're the best of friends

Lack of education (Stafford)
(note: a mix of sung and spoken parts)

You listen good to I

Because it's either education or elimination
now, if you're so foxy and old Chief is so dumb
then why does that hound get the fox on the run ?
cause he's got the hunter and the hunter's got the gun

ka-blam, elimination, lack of education

If you prowl around with that Copper hound
you're soon gonna be hanging on the wall
keep you nose to the wind
if you wanna keep your skin
cause you won't be home when the hunter comes to call

- Oh, Big Mama, I know
Copper would never track me down
well, Copper, he's my best friend
- ho ho, your best friend

Now, Copper's gonna do what he's been told
suppose he won't chase no fox in no fox hole ?
along comes the hunter with a buck shot load
ka-ka-blam, elimination, lack of education
you better believe it, Tod

Goodbye seems forever (Rich / Patch)

We met, it seems, such a short time ago
you looked at me, needing me so
yet from your sadness our happiness grew
and I found out I needed you, too

I remember how we used to play
I recall those rainy days
the fire's glow that kept us warm
and now I find we're both alone

Goodbye may seem forever
farewell is like the end
but in my heart is a memory
and there you'll always be

Goodbye may seem forever
farewell is like the end
but in my heart is a memory
and there you'll always be

Appreciate the lady (Stafford)

When you have a natural attraction
you deserve a mutual reaction
you're gonna get a whole lot of satisfaction
here's all you gotta do

When you feel that natural affection
lead you in a positive direction
you gotta stop showing off, start showing up
with little natural you

Yes, you gotta appreciate the lady
and, now, that is a natural fact

cause when you be yourself with a lady act
you're gonna be appreciated right back
