Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] Gee, wasn't it swell? Gee, it was swell It was lovely
