Biografia:
Bob Hope was born in Eltham, London, England but made his name as a Radio star in America. He went on to star in numerous hollywood movies, including the succesful partnership with Bing Crosby in the 'Road to.......' movies. Bob Hope is one of the greatest comedians that ever graced the screen, famous for his quick fire one-liners. Some of the tracks listed here ('I Don't Know', 'Kill the Solicitor', and 'Ways To Do You Wrong') are not by the comedian but by the English band from the eighties Bob Hope.

[Refrain 1]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
Thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 1]
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7
How lovely it was!
[Refrain 2]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
Thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 2]
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
E7 D9 A
How lovely it was!
[Bridge]
A AM7 D9 E7
Many's the time that we feasted
A AM7 D9 E7
And many's the time that we fasted
G Bm7 Am7 D7
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
G G/F# E7
We did have fun and no harm done.
[Refrain 3]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
And thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 3]
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7
So thank you so much.
[Refrain 4]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
Thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 4]
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse"
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7
How lovely it was
[Refrain 5]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
Thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 5]
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace
D9 E7 A
How lovely that was!
[Bridge]
A AM7 D9 E7
We said goodbye with a highball
A AM7 D9 E7
Then I got as "high" as a steeple (Did you?)
G Bm7 Am7 D7
But we were intelligent people
G G/F# E7
No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us!
[Refrain 6]
E13 Fdim A6 F#m
Thanks....for the memory...
[Verse 6]
A Edim E7 Cdim
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?
E7 F#m7 Bm7-5 E7
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
D Fdim A F#7
Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo
[Outro]
D9 E7 A
And thank you so much.
