Thanks For The Memory (Remastered) Lyrics

Thanks for the Memory - Bob Hope/Shirley Ross

Written by:Robin/Rainger

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 Schubert's serenade

Little things of jade

And traffic jams

And anagrams

And bills we never paid

How lovely it was

 

We who could laugh over big things

 

Were parted by only a slight thing

 

I wonder if we did the right thing

 

Oh well that's life I guess

 

I love your dress

Okay

It's pretty

 

Thanks for the memory

Of faults that you forgave

Rainbows on a wave

And stockings in the basin'

When a fellow needs a shave

 

Thank you so much

 

Thanks for the memory

Of tinkling temple bells

 

Alma mater yells

And Cuban rum

And towels from

The very best hotels

 

Oh how lovely it was

 

Thanks for the memory

Of cushions on the floor

Hash with Dinty Moore

That pair of gay pajamas

That you bought

And never wore

 

Say by the way what did happen to those pajamas

 

We said goodbye with a highball

Then I got as high as a steeple

 

But we were intelligent people

 

No tears no fuss

 

Hooray for us

 

Strictly entre nous

 

Darling how are you

And how are all

Those little dreams

That never did come true

 

Awfully glad I met you

 

Cheerio and toodle oo

 

Thank you

 

 

Thank you so much
