[Intro – bright synth stab, handclaps, one nervous fuse hiss] (ssssss... BOOM!) Oh no. Sorry. I'll try again. [Verse 1 – bouncy, sincere, hopeful] I saw you building your house on the hill, I thought you looked lonely, I wanted to help — I picked you some flowers, I practiced hello, I walked right up and I said — (ssssss... BOOM!) [Verse 2 – undeterred] I tried again Tuesday, I brought you a cake, I knocked on your door and I tried not to shake — I opened my mouth and I said how-d'you-do, and all that came out was — (ssssss... BOOM!) [Pre-Chorus – building, hopeful, arms out] I don't wanna scare you, I don't wanna run, I just wanna hang out and maybe have fun — so listen real close 'cause I'm saying it clear, the only three words that I want you to hear — [Chorus – huge, Eurodance, kid-shoutalong] Boom boom boom boom! I wanna be your friend! So we can play together, together in your room! Boom boom boom boom! I wanna be your friend! Please don't run away now — (ssssss... BOOM!) Oh no. Not again. [Verse 3 – the creeper tries different tactics] I tried to be quiet, I tiptoed on in, I held my breath tight and I tucked in my chin — I made it so close I could see your surprise, then I sneezed just a little and — (ssssss... BOOM!) [Bridge – slower, genuinely sad, minor key] Every time I try I go kaboom, every friend I make just leaves the room — all I want's a hug, a high-five, a wave, is there anybody out there who'll be brave? [Final Chorus – full arrangement, claps, kids' choir joins in] Boom boom boom boom! I wanna be your friend! So we can play together, together in your room! Boom boom boom boom! I wanna be your friend! Please don't run away now — stay and play with me! [Outro – one more hopeful try] (knock knock knock) Hi! It's me again! I brought cookies this ti— (ssssss... BOOM!) ...I'll come back tomorrow.
