I'm sorry to disturb you but you look a kindly sort

I'm looking for a friend of mine he's white and not what you'd call short

Six feet if he's an inch, pink-eyed and dressed with perfect care

From ears to tail a gentleman and singularly rare



Chorus:	 Have you seen my good friend Harvey

	 We stopped in down the street

	 We'd only had a beer or two

	 When he said he had some friends to meet

	 And Harvey is so friendly

	 He makes me very proud

	 To say I am his special friend

	 To everyone out loud



He came this way I'm certain 'cause he leaves a special glow

On all the faces in the places he might get to know

It seemed so very peaceful when I looked into this bar

I thought old Harvey must be here, "My goodness there you are"



Chorus:	 Have you met my good friend Harvey

	 He's really quite sublime

	 Come out and do the town with us

	 I can guarantee a real fine time

	 For Harvey is so friendly

	 The good time never ends

	 And all the folks we haven't met

	 Are just our will-be friends



Whenever I'm with Harvey I have all the time I please

The pleasant hours last twice as long and pass with grace and ease

But all the dull and boring times that plague our lives each day

Dance on before you blink an eye when Harvey comes to stay



Chorus:	 Say Hello to my friend Harvey

	 And come along today

	 He'll slip a month into an hour

	 And we'll tour from here to Mandalay

	 And when our lunch is over

	 And we've wandered home again

	 We'll all go out to some new bar

	 And make another friend
