Many years ago,

When you first became my friend.

Frank was our father,

And the frog was a frog in the end.

The next thing that I knew

We were the brains of the school,

We went to state academics

Which was pretty cool.

Soon middle school was gone,

And you began to debate,

And you値l definitely go to Nats

At this rate.

I知 really proud of you,

And who you致e become,

And I think we致e learned some French

Parlez-vous? You lazy bum.

I知 kidding, I知 kidding,

I知 actually quite impressed,

And now you might leave us,

But I know you値l be one of the best.

I want you to succeed,

But I知 not sure I知 ready to let you go,

You really are a great friend

And I wanted you to know.
