Let's Make Up And Be Friendly is the fifth studio album by the Bonzo Dog Band and their last album until 2007. The group had already disbanded when United Artists Records (which absorbed the Bonzos' label Liberty Records) informed band members that the group owed the label one more album. This 1972 farewell album was the result, recorded at The Manor Studio in November 1971, while the building itself was still in the process of being converted to accommodate the recording studio that was being built.

This was The Bonzo Dog Band's last album of new material featuring all the original members until their reunion in 2006, by which time founder member Vivian Stanshall was deceased. A new studio album, Pour l'Amour des Chiens was released in December 2007. The album is today controlled by the Parlophone unit of Warner Music Group.[1]

In 2007 the album was re-issued on CD by EMI with six bonus tracks, some of which were solo recordings by the members of the group.
