YOU CAN’T HAVE JERRY WITHOUT HAVING TOM
If you’re with Sooty then Sweep comes along
You can’t have Lisa without having Bart
And we all need to be with Jesus
You can’t have Woody without having Buzz
Ken needs Barbie or he’ll make a fuss
Where there’s Harry Potter there’s usually Ron
And we all need to be with Jesus
Made for each other needing one another
God made us all to be sisters and brothers
Always together friends last forever
The greatest One is God’s own Son
Roo needs Kanga piglet needs Pooh
You can’t have Chuckie without Tommy too
Postman Pat needs his black and white cat
And we all need to be with Jesus
You can’t have Robin without Little John
Simba and Nala together are one
Wallace and Grommit are never apart
And we all need to be with Jesus
I need Jesus and He needs me
Living together family
Across the nation His children know
That we all need to be with Jesus
