Song lyrics

Send "We're Going To Be Friends" ringtones to your cell

Fall is here, Hear the yell 
Back to school, ring the bell 
Brand new shoes, walking blues 
Climb the fence, books and pens 

I can tell that we are gonna be friends 
I can tell that we are gonna be friends 

Walk with me, Suzy Lee 
Through the park and by the tree 
We will rest upon the ground 
And look at all the bugs we found 

Safely walk to school without a sound 
Safely walk to school without a sound 

Here we are, no one else 
We walked to school all by ourselves 
There's dirt on our uniforms 
From chasing all the ants and worms 

We clean up and now its time to learn 
We clean up and now its time to learn 

Numbers, letters, learn to spell 
Nouns and books and show and tell 
Play time we will throw the ball 
Back to class, through the hall 

Teacher marks our height against the wall 
Teacher marks our height against the wall 

We don't notice any time pass 
We don't notice anything 
We sit side by side in every class 
Teacher thinks that I sound funny 
But she likes the way you sing 

Tonite I'll dream while I'm in bed 
When silly thoughts go through my head 
About the bugs and alphabet 
When I wake, tomorrow I'll bet 

That you and I will walk together again 
I can tell that we are gonna be friends 
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

36 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i think it's so cool that jack white (i think that's his name) wrote this song just for the movie.. it's so perfect for it. i don't think i can even imagine a different song playing in the beginning. and the song is pretty sweet. it sounds awesome. it's incredible.

63 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Well, Napoleon could have still been in post production two years ago. In the commentary it says that they wrote a letter to Jack and asked him to watch a movie and write and record a song for it if he liked it.

36 posts	wait, it's pathetic & embarrasing to not be a die-hard fan of the white stripes? ok.. the song was made for the movie anyway.

643 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal If the song was made just for the movie then why would Jack and Meg release a video for it LONG before the movie was even heard of? Get your facts straight please.

82 posts	This song is so sweet!! I'd heard it before but i couldnt remember where then i heard it on Napoleon Dynamite and thought ''this is The White Stripes'. And to all you people who think its the best movie ever...WHY?? I don't get it, it's supposed to be the bees knees but i only laughed about twice, and that was only because they hurt themselves.

15 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I heard this song at the school talent show last year where 2 boys got up with high shorts and suspenders (white legs hehe), one singing and one playing the guitar on stools. It was the best. I haven't seen Napoleon Dynamite yet. Is there any more good music in it?
