Thank You for Being a Friend

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 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 walkin' 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 (For being a–, I wanna thank you)

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

Thank you for being a friend

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, I'll 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 right now, then I'll tell you again)

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

Thank you for being a friend, oh, oh, oh
