(sing to : Farmer in the Dell)

My hand says hello,

My hand says hello,

Every time I see my friend,

My hand says hello.

(repeat using other body parts)

Make new friends,

But keep the old.

One is silver,

And the other gold.

Two little friends is better than one,

Three friends are better than two,

Four friends, is even better yet,

Tell me, what can five friends do?

I loved my friend.

He went away from me.

There's nothing more to say.

The poem ends,

Soft as it began--

I loved my friend.

          --Langston Hughes.
