She's looking for a friend
May I suggest a boyfriend
A blond with deep blue eyes
Or chestnut hair with hazel eyes
Oh, it doesn't really matter the color
What she needs is a companion
A handsome companion,
An intelligent companion
A loving companion
Perhaps a boyfriend
For the weekend
My sister's lonely in her digs
Studies all night
Lots of books
That's her plight
All she needs is a companion friend
There's plenty down my end
That I can recommend
From sunny California
Surely
She'll find one in Australia
She's looking for a friend
Who will be her best friend
Not any type will do
She'll take a scholar, a would-be doctor
Tousled hair with
Black rimmed glasses
Oh, doesn't really matter, the looks
Just give her a companion
An articulate companion
An intelligent companion
A loving companion
What about a boyfriend
For the weekend
But the truth is
A companion she already has
How do I explain this razmatazz
It sits on the shelf
It's short, but no elf
Watches her through the night, with all its might
Through its brown and emerald eyes
Its name is ALAN
I sometimes think, it's a boy in disguise
A soul that's trapped in cotton
To be loved, not forgotten
I've known it since I was a child
Whenever I looked up
Yes, it smiled
ALAN is it's name
Through the years, its remained the same
My sister's lonely in her digs
Studies all night
Lots of books
That's her plight
Perhaps she needs a boy friend
There's plenty down my end
That I can recommend
From sunny California
Surely
She'll find one in Australia
Oh surely
She'll find one in Australia
