Five Friends Lyrics - No Place Like Home - Lex Zaleta

Got this chain letter in the mail, 

A get-rich scheme that couldn't fail. 

I knew it was legal, you see; 

It was signed by an attorney, 

And this is what he said to me: 

If you can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends - 

Think of all the money 

You'll be able to spend. 

Got myself some preferred seating 

At this opportunity meeting. 

They said they weren't selling soap; 

They thought of it as selling hope. 

I was drowning - they threw me this rope: 

If you can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends - 

Think of all the money 

You'll be able to spend. 

Got this Nigerian e-mail, 

Another scheme that couldn't fail. 

Didn't question the legality 

Or the man's nationality. 

At least he didn't say to me: 

If you can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends - 

Think of all the money 

You'll be able to spend. 

Now, I'm not the kind of guy 

To let my problems multiply, 

So ....... 

I joined this folkie twelve-step program 

To save me from the next new scam 

My new-found hope was fast-fleeting 

When at the very first meeting 

They all hit me with this greeting: 

If you can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends 

Who can find five friends - 

Think of all the money 

You'll be able to spend. 

If something doesn't work soon, 

It looks like I'll have to.
