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
