(Written by Andrew Gold, Arrangement and additional lyrics by Rod Kim)

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when I threw a party
Invited everyone I knew
Well, I did see the biggest gifts from you to me
And the card I sent it said:

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend

And when I call, you don’t pretend
I see you there, so once again

Thank you for being a...

Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a...
I wanna tell you, just wanna thank you
I wanna tell you, just wanna thank you
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
