Thank you for
being a friend
Travelled down the road
and back again
Your heart is true
you're a pal and a
confidante
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
Well you would see
the biggest gift
would be from 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 grey
Have no fear
even though it's
hard to hear
I will stand real close
and 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
Let me tell you 'bout
a friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Die and float away
I'll see you there...
then once again
Thank you for being a
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Woah let me
tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend
Thank you for being a
friend....
