I know a lad 
And when I feel bad 
He scares all my troubles away
When he's your friend
He's yours till the end
No matter what others may say

He don't tell me
How I ought to be
He likes me just as I am
And when I feel blue
He's the one I go to
'Cause his heart is as big As a ham

He's me pal,
he's me pal
There ain't nobody else I can see
I know he's dead tough,
but his love is no bluff 
He'd share his last dollar with me
I'd rather have him 
and his 15 a week 
Than be some old millionaire's gal
He's the best ever was
and I loves him because
He's me pal,
he's me pal...

My pal is poor
But I am dead sure
He's better than most millionaires...
I right?
I'm satisfied
When he's by my side
The joys and the sorrow we share
I'd give my arm 
To keep him from harm
He'd do the same thing for me
He'll always be there
Stormy weather or fair
That's the reason I likes him, you see

He's me pal,
he's me pal 
There ain't nobody else I can see
I know he's dead tough,
but his love is no bluff 
He'd share his last dollar with me...
Wouldn't ya?
I'd rather be his 
with his 15 a week
Than be some old millionaire's gal
He's the best 
And I loves him
He's me pal
He's me pal.

He's the best ever was
And I loves him because
He's me pal
He's me pal.
