Anybody here seen my old friend Ted?

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
You know I just looked around and he's gone

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

(brief instrumental interlude-organ)

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John
And Ted

fighter for the causes he believed in, and we believe in, I imagine that he'd rather have fought on for another ten or twenty years. I hope he can rest peacefully, but it may not be easy for him to.

When you added "And Ted" at the end.

I had the pleasure many years ago of interviewing Dick Holler, who, strangely enough, also wrote "Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron."

for equality and justice. Quite a family.

Well, that Dick Heller is one versatile song-writer. Interesting. Was your interview it for a freelance piece or an assignment?

for Sunday Arts section. He sat on a piano bench the whole time, playing snatches of this and that, and talking about composing. Naturally, he wanted to talk about "A, M and J" and said he hated owning up to "Snoopy"!
