Thanks for the Memory

[BUZZ]
Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons
And swingy Harlem tunes
And motor trips
And burning lips
And burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was

[CLEO]
Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine
Castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon

[BUZZ]
And moments on
The Hudson River Line

[CLEO]
How lovely it was

[BUZZ]
Many is the time that we feasted

[CLEO]
Many is the time that we fasted

[BUZZ]
Oh well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun, and no harm done
So thanks for the memory
Of crap games on the floor
Nights in Singapore

[CLEO]
You might have been a headache
But you never were a bore

[BUZZ]
I thank you so much

[CLEO]
Thanks for the memory
Of China's funny walls
Transatlantic calls

[BUZZ]
That weekend at Niagara
When we hardly saw the falls

[CLEO]
How lovely that was
Thanks for the memory
Of lunch from twelve to four
Sunburn at the shore
That pair of gay pajamas
That you bought and never wore

[BUZZ]
(spoken)
Say, what did happen to those pajamas?

[CLEO]
Letters with sweet little secrets
That couldn't be put in a day wire

[BUZZ]
Too bad it all had to go haywire
That's life, I guess
I love your dress

[CLEO]
Thanks for the memory
Of faults that you forgave
Rainbows on a wave

[BUZZ]
And stockings in the basin
When a fellow needs a shave
I thank you so much

[CLEO]
Thanks for the memory
Of Gardens at Versailles

[BUZZ]
Beef and kidney pie

[CLEO]
The night you worked and then came home
With lipstick on your tie

[BUZZ]
How lovely that was
Thanks for the memory
Of lingerie and lace

[CLEO]
And Pilsner by the case
And how I jumped
The day you trumped
My one and only ace

[BUZZ]
How lovely that was

[CLEO]
We said goodbye with a highball

[BUZZ]
And I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people

[CLEO]
No tears, no fuss

[BUZZ AND CLEO]
Hooray for us

[CLEO]
Strictly entre nous, darling, how are you?

[BUZZ]
And how are all those little dreams
That never did come true?

[CLEO]
Awfully glad I met you

[BUZZ]
Cheerio, toodle-oo

[CLEO]
Thank you

[BUZZ]
Thank you
