Sometimes life brings pain and strife
And all seems wrong
That is when you find a friend
And write a song
Give the gift of giving
Give the gift of giving
Give it far and give it wide
Take the leap - reach down deep inside
And just give a kidney
And just give a kidney
To a father or a dad
Just give a kidney
We hear it doesn’t really hurt that bad
And we know you’ll want to give it
And we know you’ll want to give it
To a super human being
So get it done
We just need one
For Milton Greene
This country has six hundred million kidneys
This country has six hundred million kidneys
And we really only need half
That leaves about three hundred million kidneys
Do the math

Milton Greene
He needs a kidney
He needs a kidney
Milton Greene
Don’t ask why - he could die
If you don’t call today
Listen, when someone starts talking in the middle of a song you know it’s serious. So give Milton a kidney. We all believe in this cause so much we’re doing it for free. Except for Sheryl. That’s right. I’m the only one getting paid. And only three of us are drunk. Milton Greene needs a kidney. Just like I need this beard. You don’t want to see what’s under here. And while you don’t have two beards you do have two kidneys. Think of it this way: if I had two dollars, I’d give you one, wouldn’t I? I’m one of the drunk ones!
They say that two is better than one

They say that two is better than one
But sometimes one is better than two
If you had two heads you’d wish you had one
How is this different?
If you had two dogs attacking you
You’d want just one
There I proved my point!

He needs a kidney
He needs a kidney
Milton Greene
Don’t ask why - he could die
If you don’t call today
He needs a kidney
He needs a kidney
No he doesn’t need a hand
He just needs a kidney
A hand would be an even harder thing to give
A hand would be an even harder thing to give
When you give a kidney
And we really think you should
We pass the cup
They stitch it up
You do some good
