Verse
We eat drink, hi five
I like your shoes , hi I’m
New to the neighborhood
Man it sure feels good
When we smile, shake hands
This is how we make friends
This is how it all begins
Chorus
We’re friends, we’re fly
You’re sweet and kind
You and Me
by Tiffany Wilson and Nate Bogopolsky
How can Irene and Charles work together on their fifth grade poetry project? They don’t know each other . . . and they’re not sure they want to.
