Presidents big, Presidents small,We celebrate and thank them all!They worked so hard to keep us free,And built this land for you and me!

George Washington rode through the snow,Leading soldiers long ago.He fought with courage, calm and might,To bring our country freedom’s light.

Honest Abe in his tall black hat,Stood for freedom — imagine that!He freed the slaves, he showed the way,We still honor him today!

George and Abe, so brave and true,Worked for me and worked for you.They led our land with heart and grace,And made the world a better place!

Friendship’s a gift that money can’t buy,It grows with love as time goes by.Thank you, my friend, for all you do,The world’s more beautiful with you.

Happy Friendship Day to you,For all the kind things that you do.You make my world so warm and bright,My heart feels happy, pure, and light.

At school we learn, we laugh, we play,We help each other every day.Homework’s fun when done with you,My friend so loyal, kind, and true.

Your smile is bright, it lights my day,It chases all my clouds away.A friend like you is hard to find,So gentle, honest, sweet, and kind.

I tie this band upon your hand,To show our friendship strong and grand.No matter where our paths may bend,You’ll always be my dearest friend.

We share our dreams, both big and small,You catch me if I ever fall.Through every season, near or far,My friend, that’s just the way we are.

Red for love, and blue for peace,Yellow joy will never cease.With every color, bright and true,My friendship rainbow’s made for you!

We laugh together, play and run,With you, my friend, life’s full of fun!Through ups and downs we always stay,Best friends forever — hip, hooray!

A friend is kind, a friend is near,To bring us joy and wipe a tear.Through every smile, through every day,A friend will never go away.
