Hello, old friend, I heard you died,
I’m so sorry I never had a chance to say goodbye,
Just got so busy, you see,
I almost forgot about me…
See life got so busy with things to do,
There were cars and T.V.s and swimming pools,
And bills to pay, oh well…
And wars to fight and lies to tell,

They say laughter is the best medicine,
So laugh away your sickness my friend,
And others say you were born a sin,
But I just don’t buy that, my friend…

And maybe this is all a dream,
Maybe things are never really what they seem,
You know I don’t ever wanna die,
But I know in the end hello always becomes goodbye.

They say laughter is the best medicine,
So laugh away your sickness my friend,
And others say you were born a sin,
But I just don’t buy that, my friend…

I say music is the best medicine,
So sing away your sorrows, my friend,
And others say you were born a sin,
But I just don’t buy that, my friend…
