So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

I got the 'Hitchhiker's Guide' for Christmas one year
It had me smiling from ear to ear
I sat down and read it straight away

I followed along as Arthur and Ford
Stuck out a thumb and climbed aboard
A passing ship in order to escape

I read it at twelve years old

Thanks for the stories
Thanks for the words
Some of the strangest stories I've heard
But I love them all just the same

I didn't get a chance
To tell you goodbye
'Cause you died in a bad year in my life
I couldn't afford a ticket for a plane

If I had a single wish
I wish I could have been there to say
'So long, and thanks for all the fish'

I read it again just the other day
Still love the crazy thoughts you convey
It brings back a memory or two

Most of my friends can easily tell
Why I relate to Marvin so well
And I wish I could say "thank you."

I love how the story is told

Thanks for the stories
Thanks for the words
Some of the strangest stories I've heard
But I love them all just the same

I didn't get a chance
To tell you goodbye
'Cause you died in a bad year in my life
I couldn't afford a ticket for a plane

If I had a single wish
I wish I could have been there to say
'So long, and thanks for all the fish'
