"Thanks for the Memories"

Parody Written by:

Michael Pacholek

Rest in peace, Bob Hope. Let me be the first to wish him a funny farewell. Or try to.
Thanks for the memories.
For all the songs you sing.
The "Road" movies with Bing.
For 50 years of TV shows
and jokes 'bout anything.
And we thank you so much.

And thanks for the memories.
The ships you came aboard.
The soldiers' laughs you scored.
Surviving all those golf games
in Palm Springs with Jerry Ford.
And we thank you so much.

You turned a hundred, we thundered
the tributes came in bunches
but I had some unpleasant hunches
like George Burns, you'd then soon leave me.

But thanks for the memories.
Those nights on Carson's show.
The way you got so low
on Oscar night when other guys
to them, the prize would go.
And we thank you so much.

And thanks for the memories.
And now there will be tears
dripping in our beers.
But we should still be thankful
for a hundred laughing years.
And we thank you... soooo... much!
