"Thanks For The Memory" lyrics

"Thanks For The Memory"

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 a steeple
But we were intelligent people
We did have fun, no harm was done

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
