"Friendship" is a song written by Cole Porter from his 1939 musical DuBarry Was a Lady where it was introduced by Ethel Merman and Bert Lahr. The song was once again performed in the 1943 film version starring Red Skelton, Lucille Ball, Gene Kelly and Tommy Dorsey. History Cole Porter wrote "Friendship" for the finale to his 1939 musical DuBarry Was a Lady which opened on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre on December 6, 1939. It was premiered by Ethel Merman as Mme. La Comtesse du Barry and Bert Lahr as The King of France. In subsequent productions, Frances Day and Arthur Riscoe performed the song in the original 1942 London premiere; and Faith Prince and Robert Morse performed it in the 1996 Encores! revival. In 1943, Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Gene Kelly and Tommy Dorsey performed the song in the film version of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical. Lucille Ball's singing voice was dubbed by Martha Mears for most of the picture, but her real voice was used in "Friendship". Ball and Kelly reunited in 1978 and performed the song on Kelly's television special, "An American in Pasadena", which aired on March 13, 1978.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays (1841), Of Friendship.

— Jean de La Bruyère, The Characters or Manners of the Present Age (1688), Chapter V.
“A good man is the best friend, and therefore soonest to be chosen, longest to be retained, and indeed never to be parted with, unless he cease to be that for which he was chosen.”
— Jeremy Taylor, p. 254.
