Thanks for the Memory (Original Recorded Version)

Thanks for the Memory (Original Recorded Version) - DOROTHY LAMOUR/The Cy Feuer Orchestra

Thanks for the memory

Of China's funny walls

Transatlantic calls

A weekend at Niagara

When we hardly saw the falls

How lovely it was

Thanks for the memory

Of rainy afternoons

Swingy Harlem tunes

And motor trips

And burning lips

And burning toast and prunes

How lovely it was

Many's the time that we feasted

And many's the time that we fasted

Oh well it was swell while it lasted

We did have fun

And no harm done

And thanks for the memory

Of lunch from twelve to four

Sunburn on the shore

That pair of gay pyjamas

That you bought and never wore

So thank you so much

Thanks for the memory

Of sentimental verse

Nothing in my purse

And chuckles when the preacher said

For better or for worse

How lovely it was

Thanks for the memory

Of lather on your face

Pipes around the place

And how I jumped

The day you trumped

My one and only ace

How lovely it was

Letters with sweet little secrets

That couldn't be put in a day wire

Too bad it all had to go haywire

But that's alright

I sleep at night

So thanks for the memory

And strictly entre nous

Darling how are you

And how are all the little dreams

That never did come true

Awfully glad I met you

Cheerio and toodle-oo

And thank you so much
