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 stays this way
My hat is off
Won't you stand up and take a bow?
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 stays this way
My hat is off
Won't you stand up and take a bow?
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)
Thank you for being a friend
(I wanna thank you)

Thank you, Jack
Yeah, [?] of course
