lyrics

She knows every bird by its song
Tends to her flowers as she sings along
You’ve never met a lady so kind
But when it comes right down to it she’ll speak her mind

She and Fred bike thirty miles a day
If you ride alongside you’ll hear her humming a tune the whole way
When it comes to adventure these two can’t be stopped
Campin’ and walkin’ and drivin’ to Florida
It’s all just a jump, skip and a hop

Harriet
Woman so kind heart, soul and mind, oh
Harriet
She’s a friend to you and me

She knits a hundred afghans for people she hasn’t met
She makes hats and scarves and mittens and sweaters
And doesn’t break a sweat
She makes peanut butter cookies with a chocolate in the middle
The best thing is she’ll let you lick the beaters a little

Harriet
Woman so kind heart, soul and mind, oh
Harriet
She’s a friend to you and me

Now if you ever find yourself feeling down and blue
With a twinkle in her eye Harriet would say
“If wishes were fishes we’d all have some”
Let’s just laugh the day away
Laugh laugh laugh the day away

Harriet
Woman so kind heart, soul and mind, oh
Harriet
She’s a friend to you and me, oh yeah
She’s a friend to you and me
She’s a friend to you and me
