Semi-Opening Song: "Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna"
    If you're down in the dumps
    With a case of the grumps
    And your get up and go
    Has got up and went
    Remember the following magical words

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Silly, funny as it may seem
    These words have a magical way
    Of bringing you up from the dumps, the blues
    And brighten your whole day

    If you're ever uptight
    Anytime day or night
    And your frightened and betting
    You'll never pull through
    Take a deep breath and repeat after me

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna

    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna
    Gna Gna Gna Gna Gna


Closing Song: "For a Friend"
    If you need
    Somebody to help you
    Just let out a sound
    And we'll be around
    Again and again

    For a friend
    We will fly the earth for a friend
    'Cause we know the worth of a friend
    And there's nothing we won't do

    If you need
    Somebody to talk you
    We'll always be there
    To show that we care
    Right up to the end

    For a friend
    We will fly the earth for a friend
    'Cause we know the worth of a friend
    And there's nothing we won't do

    If we win
    There we are to cheer for a friend
    Or to dry a tear for a friend
    Any friend we know is true

    For like a friend like you
    For like a friend like you
    For like a friend like you
