Lyrics:

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

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 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 see you there, then once again

Thank you for being a friend



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

Whoa, tell you about a friend

(Thank you right now, for being a friend)

Thank you for being a friend

(I wanna tell you right now, and tell you again)

Thank you for being a friend

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

Thank you for being a friend
