Tekst piosenki:
[Dave Van Ronk]
Yes, we travelled far and wide together
Did we travel too fast?
Now I reminisce and wonder whether
Any good times ever last
But that, dear, is past
Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine,
Castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon
And moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was!
And thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons,
Swingy Harlem tunes
And motor trips and burning lips
And burning toast and prunes
How lovely it all was!
Many is the time that we feasted
And many is the time that we fasted
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done
And thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore,
Nights in Singapore
He might have been a headache
But he never were a bore
Thank you so much.

[Sarah Partridge]
Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse,
Nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said
"For better or for worse"
How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of lingerie with lace,
Pilsner by the case
And how I jumped
The day you trumped
My one-and-only ace
How lovely it was!
[Dave Van Ronk]
We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as "high" as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss... Free cheers for us!
And thanks for the memory
And strictly entre-nous,
Darling, how are you?
[Sarah Partridge]
And how are all those little dreams
That never did come true?
[Both]
Awfully glad I met you,
Cheerio, and toddle-oo
And thank you so much
