I WANT TO THANK YOUR FOLKS
(Bennie Benjamin / George Weiss)

as recorded by Perry Como
with Lloyd Shaffer & his Orchestra
December 19th 1946 New York


I wanna thank your folks
For making you as sweet as you are.
How else can I express how I feel,
Confess and reveal my love?

I wanna thank your folks
For making you the dream that you are,
And tell them what a swell job they've done
Of raisin' the one that I love!

Do you recall that birthday party they gave you
When we were just a couple of kids?
Well, suppose they hadn't thought of inviting me too,
See what I'd have missed!

And here's my thanks to you
For making all my love dreams come true.
But darling, to be perfectly frank,
I really must thank your folks!
