Tanks For the Memory
 

-Words by the Congoleese Choir and Music by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger
-orginal introduced in the film "Big Broadcast Of 1938" by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross
-adopted by Hope as his theme song and the modified theme by the Congoleese

Tanks for the memory
Of passive light and wine, castles on the Rhine
The Rock and moments on the Butzbach-Giessen Line
How dusty it was!

Tanks for the memory
Of snowy afternoons, cleaning out saloons
And road marches and freezing lips and stolen goose and tunes
How muddy it was!

 

Many's the time that we feasted
And many's the time that we fasted
Oh, well, it was hell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done

And tanks for the memory
Of nights in Grafenwoehr and Polizei at the door
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
So thank you so much.

Tanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse, something not to curse
And chuckles when the Chaplain said "For better or for worse"
How chilly it was

Tanks for the memory
Of lingerie with lace, Licher by the case
Shooting the searchlight tank and the look on Powerman’s face

How scary it was!

We said goodbye at Tiffany's
Then I got as "high" as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No fuss, no muss, Three Cheers! For us

So, tanks for the memory
And a strictly Army view, tanker how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
Aw'flly glad I met you, A Deuces, and Lts. too
And thank you so much.
