Thank You Very Much

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
On behalf of all the people who have gathered here today
I would merely like to mention if I may
That our unanimous attitude
Is one of lasting gratitude
For what our friend has done for us today
And therefore, I would simply like to say

[Verse 1]
Thank you very much, thank you very much
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me
I may sound double Dutch, but my delight is such
I feel as if a losing war's been won for me
And if I had a flag, I'd hang me flag out
To add a sort of final victory touch
But since I've left my flag at home, I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much
Thank you very, very, very much

[Verse 2]
Thank you very much, thank you very much
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me
It sounds a bit bizarre, the things the way they are
I feel as if another life's begun for me
And if I had a cannon, I would fire it
To add a sort of celebration touch
But since I've left me cannon at home, I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much
Thank you very, very, very much

[Verse 3]
Thank you very much, thank you very much
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me
It isn't every day good fortune comes your way
I never thought the future would be fun for me
And if I had a bugle, I would blow it
To add a sort of "How's your father?" touch
But since I've left me bugle at home, I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very, very
Very, very, very, very, very much

[Bridge]
He's a jolly good fellow
For who's a jolly good fellow?
He's a jolly good fellow
And so say all of us
Thank you very much
Thank you very, very much
Thank you very much
The future looks alright
In fact, it looks so bright
I feel as if they're polishing the sun for me

[Outro]
And if I had a drum, I'd have to bang it
To add a sort of rumpty-tumpty touch
But since I left my drum at home, I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much
Very, very, very much
For he's a jolly good fellow
Thank you very much
