lyrics

Sometimes this world has demands never-ending
Sometimes it offers such little reward
Sometimes it feels, when it's backwards you're bending
Your sacrifice will be all but ignored

But I gotta thank you, I gotta thank you
Coz you're helping make everything right,
You've got my 'ppreciation, and my standing ovation
I gotta thank you, thank you, goodnight.

Maybe you answered the call, when they said it
No hesitation, you just - you just volunteer
Maybe you waited to share in the credit
But yet again, your name doesn't appear.

But I gotta thank you...

There was no-one else to do-it, so you put your shoulder to it
Even though your support wasn't there
Every time, no matter what, you give it all that you got
With no fear, and no fuss, 'n no fanfare

With each contribution you're selflessly slaving
It's not for you any cheap platitude
It's not bouquets and streamers that you're craving
But I offer my deep gratitude.

And I gotta thank you...
