The Lyrics
Ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman hung out Thursday with North Korea's Kim Jong Un on the third day of his improbable journey to Pyongyang, watching the Harlem Globetrotters with the leader and later dining and drinking with him at his palace. "You have a friend for life," Rodman told Kim before a crowd of thousands at a gymnasium where they sat side by side, chatting as they watched players from North Korea and the U.S. play on mixed teams.
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When your folks aren’t too well fed
With their gap tooth smiles
Looking half way dead
You just remember what old Rodman said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Think you got troubles? I say no way
I’m just a washed up has-been from the NBA
While you’re “Dear Leader” and you’re A OK
But you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit taller than you are (no kidding)
Much less despotic too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
So, please keep this thought in mind
Our fates are intertwined
Don’t fling a nuke this way, that’s my plea
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When your folks aren’t too well fed
With their gap tooth smiles
Looking half way dead
You just remember what old Rodman said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Think you got troubles? I say no way
I’m just a washed up has-been from the NBA
While you’re “Dear Leader” and you’re A OK
But you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be
A little bit taller than you are (no kidding)
Much less despotic too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
So, please keep this thought in mind
Our fates are intertwined
Don’t fling a nuke this way, that’s my plea
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
Maybe they are soul mates, then again, as the last line suggests, there may be a method to this seeming madness.

WOW! Well, they are two of the most difficult figures to figure out. Unlike most celebrities, Rodman has skipped the step of elected office and gone straight to cabinet/ambassadorial rank. ;D
