Lyrics
Pick, pick a pal, pick a really good pal.
Pick, pick a friend to be faithful to the end.
Pick, pick a bud, and I do not mean a beer!
Pick your partner carefully and keep your record clear.
So many kids, which shall I pick?
One who knows that cigarettes will make you awful sick.
Doesn't sneak around, 'cause she hasn't got to hide.
That's the kind of friend that I want walkin' by my side.
So many kids, which shall I select?
One who knows that alcohol can make your life a wreck.
He?s on the up and up, cuz he?s naturally high
He knows that being happy is not something you can buy.
So many kids, which shall I call?
One who helps me stand and who would never make me fall.
(says) Down with the wrong! Up with the right!
Together making choices that will make our future bright.
