Ben Folds and Randy Newman
Went into town for a beer
The summer sun was shining bright
And evening was drawing near
Ben said, Man, it's been a while
Since we sat down like this
Randy flashed a friendly smile
And clenched his stubby fist
He said, You got a friend in me
Well, that's a funny way of putting it
Goddamn, you're such an ordinary guy
And that's all right
I wish I'd known you years ago
Said Mr. Newman to Ben
I think of all the shit I learned
Since we started bein' friends
With a gesture, Benjamin
Flagged the bartender down
Sayin', Don't worry, buddy
The next one's on me
And he bought another round
He said, You got a friend in me
Well, that's a funny way of putting it
Goddamn, you're such an ordinary guy
And that's all right
