Thanks Me

I was tucking myself in
At the Holiday Inn
It should have been a good night
The band was sounding tight
I wonder why nobody came
They musta not recognized my name
Up on the marquis sign
They spelled it wrong again this time
Whenever I feel this way
There’s only one thing to say

Thanks me, thanks me for the songs
Always sang em right, I never wrote em wrong
Congratulations me, the place should have been packed
I say thank you to me, pat myself on the back
Thanks me

I was eating birthday cake
Off a lonesome paper plate
No postal letter came
Nobody yelled my name
Another feather falls
Another stranger calls
Another year gone by
So many visions in my eye
Whenever I get this way
There’s only one thing to say

Thanks me, thanks me for the songs
Always wrote em right, never sang em wrong
Congratulations me, the place should have been packed
I say thank you to me, pat myself on the back

Thanks me, thanks me for the songs
Always sang em right, never wrote em wrong
Congratulations me, the place should have been packed
I say thank you to me, pat myself on the back
Thanks me
Thank you buddy
Thanks you pal
Thanks me
