Lyrics
We're pals, we're buddies through and through I wish I knew what to buy for you On your birthday''
 * ''I'm never bored when I'm with you

I've seen you swell up in the rain I saw you - didn't see your pain Was it termites?''
 * ''Our friendship goes against the grain

Though you stump me with your silence I feel so naughty pining here For your happy face is guidance''
 * ''It's never hard to talk to you

My best friend Plank My best friend Plank''
 * ''My best friend Plank

What could you be thinking? You're not saying; I won't axe Is that sealant that you're drinking?''
 * ''Sitting there so silently

Al Gore's wife's name is "Tipper" I knew that we'd be best friends for life When I saved you from that chipper''
 * ''Man your hammer Nailed you, pal

My best friend Plank My best friend Plank''
 * ''My best friend Plank

Count the rings, count the rings Ooo, Plank Count the rings''
 * ''Ooo, Plank

But sawdust always makes me wheeze I met your mom and dad the trees But please don't get Dutch elm disease''
 * ''I'd walk you on the seven seas

My best friend Plank My best friend Plank You're my best friend, Plank''
 * ''My best friend Plank
