This song is responsible for starting our recording career! One day, David was teaching this song to pre-school children, and one girl said, “I want that song on tape so I can listen to it at home all the time!”

Lyrics:
Flipper the seal was a lonely seal,
he wanted a new playmate
So he went off into the frozen snow,
and he searched 'till it was late
(Chorus:)
Somebody, anybody, be my friend;
somebody, anybody, be my friend
Somebody, anybody, be my friend;
somebody, anybody, be my friend
Flipper the seal went flipping along,
and he made himself a fire
He cooked a really delicious fish,
and he got very tired
(Chorus)
The very next morning, Flipper got up,
and then he saw a carrot
So he looked all around himself,
and then he saw the white rabbit
(Chorus 2:)
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?
So Flipper and the rabbit became friends,
and they went out to play
And they went back into the frozen snow,
and they flipped and hopped away
(Chorus 3:)
I've got a friend now, yes I do
I've got a friend now, so do you
I've got a friend now, yes I do
I've got a friend now, so do you.
Flipper the seal was a lonely seal,

Somebody, anybody, be my friend;
somebody, anybody, be my friend
Somebody, anybody, be my friend;
somebody, anybody, be my friend
Flipper the seal went flipping along,
and he made himself a fire
He cooked a really delicious fish,
and he got very tired
(Chorus)
The very next morning, Flipper got up,

So he looked all around himself,

(Chorus 2:)
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?
Could you, would you, be my friend?

and they went out to play
And they went back into the frozen snow,

(Chorus 3:)
I've got a friend now, yes I do
I've got a friend now, so do you
I've got a friend now, yes I do
I've got a friend now, so do you.
