  • 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
    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, 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 (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)

    Let me tell you 'bout a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)

    And when we die and float away
    Into the night, the Milky Way
    You'll hear me call as we ascend
    I'll see you there, then once again

    Thank you for being a

    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend
    People, let me tell you 'bout a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you)
    Thank you for being a friend

    Whoa, tell you 'bout a friend (let me thank you right now for being a friend)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna tell you 'bout a pal and I'll tell you again)
    Thank you for being a friend (I wanna thank you, thank you)
