Thanks for the Memory

Thanks for the memory

Of rainy afternoons

Swingy Harlem tunes

Motor trips and burning lips

And burning toast and prunes

How lovely it was

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

Many's the time that we feasted

And many's the time that we fasted

Oh well, ist was swell while it lasted

Well, it was swell while it lasted

Dd have fun

And no harm done

Thanks for the memory

Of crap games on the floor

Nights in Singapore

You might have been a headache

But you never were a bore

Thank you so much

Thanks for the memory

Of China's funny walls

Transatlantic calls

That weekend at Niagara

When we hardly saw the Falls

How lovely that was

Thanks for the memory

Of lunch from twelve to four

Sunburn at the shore

That pair of gay pyjamas that you

Bought and never wore

(Say, by the way:

What did happen to those pyjamas?)

Letters with sweet little secrets

That couldn't be put in a day wire

Too bad it all had to go haywire

That's life I guess

I love your dress

(Do ya? - It's pretty)

Thank you for the memory

Of faults that you forgave

Rainbows on a wave

And stockings in a basin

When a fellow needs a shave

I thank you so much

Thanks for the memory

Of gardens at Versailles

And beef and kidney pie

The night you worked

And then came home

With lipstick on your tie

(How lovely that was. - Huh?)

...for the memory

Of lingerie with lace

Yes, and pilsner by the case

And how I jumped the day

You trumped my one and only ace

How low... lovely that was

We said goodbye with a highball

And I got as high as a steeple

(Did you?)

But we were intelligent people

No tears, no fuss

Hooray for us

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

Thank you

Thank you!
