Work in pairs to complete the following poem.
When you ‘re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand ,
And nothing, no, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I`ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I`ll be there, yes I will,
You`ve got a friend
You’ve got a friend
