lyrics

Buddy System
by Dean Friedman

Whenever you swim in a pond or a lake,
Be sure you don’t make this mistake.
Don’t go in the water on your own.
Never, never swim alone.
‘Cause if you really want to live,
Choose the safe alternative…

Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Call your best friend on the telephone.
Tell him that you’re going to the beach and you don’t want to swim alone.
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
It may sound nutty, or even fuddy duddy.
It’s the Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!

So, next time you swim be as smart as an owl.
Bring a suit and bring a towel.
And also, most importantly,
Make sure you bring some company.
It makes good sense and it makes good fun.
So, always go swimming with someone.

Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Call your best friend on the telephone.
Tell him that you’re going to the beach and you don’t want to swim alone.
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
It may sound nutty, or even fuddy duddy.
It’s the Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!

Next time you spend a day at the beach.
Make sure your buddy is well within reach.
Stay close together and keep him in sight.
Then, everything will be all right.
‘cause any swimming that you do, is always safer when there are two.

Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Call your best friend on the telephone.
Tell him that you’re going to the beach and you don’t want to swim alone.
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!
It may sound nutty, or even fuddy duddy.
It’s the Buh, Buh, Buh, Buddy System!

Dean Friedman Peekskill, New York

Dean Friedman entered pop consciousness with his Top 20 hit, Ariel, a quirkily irresistible and uncategorizable pop song about a free spirited, pot-smoking, vegetarian Jewish girl in a peasant blouse. Since then, hits like Lucky Stars, Lydia, Rocking Chair, McDonald’s Girl and Woman of Mine have earned him a loyal international following, devoted to his work as a master songsmith and performer. ... more
