Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Just bear this in mind-
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

You know your mother will talk about you,
Your sisters and brothers, too;
Yes, don't care how you're trying to live,
They'll talk about you still...
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find;

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,

You know they'll jump you up and down
They'll carry you all round and round;
Just as soon as your back is turned,
They'll be tryin' to crush you down.
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find;

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
