Why Are We Such Good Friends Songtext
von Blue's Clues

Can a mailbox and a salt shaker be friends?
Hm, that′s a good question

We're wondering why, we wanna know
Why we like each other so
Why, oh why are we such good friends?

Your home is the kitchen
Your home is the yard
You′re so spicy
You're such a cow
Why, oh why are we such good friends?
You know, we like totally different things
For example?

I like a-hoppin' and a-boppin′ with the ball in the yard
And then a groovy jigsaw puzzle if it′s not too hard
I like a-shakin' and a-bakin′ kooky cookies in ze kitchen
Healthy snackin', stomach-packin′, lip-smackin' good nutrition


I like postage stamps, summer camps, racin′ cars on racin' ramps
Musical chairs and your savoir faire
Groceries and toast with cheese, a juice pop, please
With as many different likes as these
Why, oh why are we such good friends?

You know, Mr. Salt
It really seems like there's only differences between us!
Ah, it really does seem zat way
But it′s your differences that make you such a good friend
I mean, that′s what I like the best
Really? (Yeah, it's true)
I feel that way, too

I′ve always admired your holy, shiny head
Oh, how great for you to have a flag instead
Maybe that's why we′re such good friends
I love your metal and I love your glass
We've only one thing in common, we both have class
Why, oh why are we such good friends?

Mailbox
Maybe I′m your friend because I like the different things you do
Is that true?
Yes, it's what makes you, you


I like how you hop and you bop with ze ball in ze yard
I like your groovy jigsaw puzzles, when they're not too hard
I like your shakin′ and your bakin′ kooky cookies in your kitchen
Healthy snackin', stomach-packin′, lip-smackin' good nutrition

I like your postage stamps, summer camps, your racing cars on racing ramps
Musical chairs and your savoir faire
Groceries and toast with cheese, juice pop, please
With as many different likes as these
Why, oh why? Oh why, oh why?

If you′re wondering why, if you wanna know
Why we love each other so
Look at ze evidence
It makes such perfect sense
We love our differences
That's why we′re such good friends

Give me five, Mr. Salt
Euh, on the flag, right
I get it, we're friends because we like what makes each other different
Yeah! You know, I really like what makes you, you
And I like what makes you, you, too

Wow! Even though they're so different
They can still be friends ′cause
They like what makes each other different
