Andrew Gold / Thank You For Being A Friend Songtext
von America

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
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 want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Let me tell you ′bout a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to 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 say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a--

Bah pah bah pah bah pah

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

Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend (I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
Woah tell ya ′bout a friend
I'll thank ya right now for being a
friend (Thank you for being a friend)
L'll tell ya ′bout a pal and 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 oh
