What You Need To Get By



                  To know that someone loves you,
                  To know you have a friend,
                  To know that there's a pot of gold
                  At every rainbow's end.

                  To know you have a guiding star
                  That's watching over you,
                  To know that others sympathize
                  When you are feeling blue.

                  To know that those you've loved and lost
                  Have found a happy home
                  Away from all their worries
                  And where only angels roam.

                  A lot of happy memories
                  Of good times from the past,
                  And knowing that some things you did
                  In others' minds will last.

                  But most of all to get you by,
                  Make life as smooth as silk
                  Is a box of Tetley tea bags
                  And a good supply of milk.
