Thank you for being a friend

Traveled down the 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 for me

and the card attached would say,

Thank you for being a friend



Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend

Thank you for being a friend



If it's a car you lack

I'd surely buy you a cadillac

Whatever you need, anytime 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 hardly here

I will stand real close and say,

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die, and float away

I'll see you there, and once again

Thank you for being a
