Thanks To Dave Lyrics - Ganggajang

Late nights, down the back streets, across the cobblestones we'd roam 

and laughing through the bar haze we would wait for Dave to show. 

Dave now, like his namesake, used to blow in on the breeze 

Put a smile on every face, slapping backs and squeezing knees 

Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway 

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave 

Jokes fell from his lips like dust falls from a golden gown 

Wore the mantle of his royalty, the little king of this old town 

Gathered pilgrims to his progress like believers to a shrine 

And he made it through the big time, was a star on 'What's My Line' 

Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway 

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave 

Well there's sunlight on the sidewalk, hear the morning talk and the mood has changed 

You can relive the past nights, lamplight to limelight, always the same 

We were fools every one of us, rolling in the night 

Dancing to that famous refrain, thanks to dave 

Often in the grip of some fancy party fare 

We would tiptoe to the frontier with Dave as our guide there 

And it's funny how the years pass, been and gone and you're not aware 

How and when we drifted from the time that we had there 

Oh, we'd live and we'd laugh, to the music we'd sway 

Oh, we'd live, love, laugh and cry thanks to Dave 

Thanks to Dave, Thanks to Dave
