Thanks for the Memory (for Mum and Dad) - February 1989

For Mum and Dad

(To the tune of the song of the same name, sung by Bob Hope 1938)

Thanks for the memory
        The laughter and the tears
        The food throughout the years
        Advice that goes unheeded,and the ear when no-one cares
I thank you so much

Thanks for the memory
        For support when times were tough
        And when the going's rough
        The words in kind, the kicks behind, when I had had enough
I thank you so much

So thanks for the memory
        Of helping you with tea
        And fishing on the sea
        For loving me no matter what, and letting me be me
I thank you so much
