Lyrics
So thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was
(Thanks) for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, swinging 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 there was no harm done
So thanks for the memories
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You might have been a headache, but you never were a bore
So I thank you so much
We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as high as steeple
But we were intelligent people
We did have fun, no harm was done
(Thanks, thanks, thanks) for the memory
Of China's funny walls, trans-Atlantic calls
A weekend in Niagara when we hardly saw the falls
So I thank you so much
Gee, wasn't it swell?
Gee, it was swell
It was lovely
