Thank you for being a friend . . .
traveled down a road and back again . . .
your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.

I'm not ashamed to say . . .
I hope it always will stay this way . . .
my hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow.

And if you threw a party . . .
invited everyone you knew . . .
you would see the biggest gift would be from me . . .
and the card attached would say . . . . .

Thank you for being a friend.

If it's a car you lack . . .
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac . . .
whatever you need any time of the day or night.

I'm not ashamed to say . . .
I hope it always will stay this way . . .
my hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow.

And when we both get older . . .
with walking canes and hair of gray . . .
have no fear even though it's hard to hear . . .
I will stand real close and say . . . . .

Thank you for being a friend.

And when we die . . .
and float away . . .
into the night . . .
the milky way.
You'll hear me call . . .
as we ascend . . .
I'll say your name . . .
then once again . . . . .
Thank you for being a friend ! ! !
