You've Got a Friend in Me

"You've Got a Friend in Me" is the famed main theme of the film Toy Story, written and performed by Randy Newman, and is sung as a duo with Lyle Lovett in the credits. It was nominated for the 1995 Academy Award for Best Original Song and the 1996 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song -- although it lost to another Disney song, "Colors of the Wind" from Pocahontas. It was also sung by Wheezy (Robert Goulet) for the film's sequel, Toy Story 2.

Like the other songs featured in Toy Story, Pixar only wanted songs in the background to describe the scene and emotions of the characters.

Lyrics
You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me When the road looks rough ahead And you're miles and miles From your nice warm bed You just remember what your old pal said Boy, you've got a friend in me Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you We stick together and can see it through Cause you've got a friend in me You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be A little bit smarter than I am Bigger and stronger too Maybe But none of them will ever love you The way I do, it's me and you Boy, and as the years go by Our friendship will never die You're gonna see it's our destiny You've got a friend in me (x3)
