Thank you for being a friend Traveled down the road and back again Your heart is true, you're my 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 Then I will 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 grey Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear I will stand you close and say Thank you for being a friend Thank you When we die and it flows away Into the night, the milky way You'll hear me call as we ascend I'll see you there and once again Thank you for being a friend Thank you
