Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse,
Nothing in my purse,
And chuckles

For better or for worse,
How lovely it was ...

A Few Facts Courtesy of Wikipedia

Thanks for the Memory PosterThanks for the Memory (1938) is a popular song, with music composed by Ralph Rainger and lyrics by Leo Robin. It was introduced in the 1938 film The Big Broadcast of 1938 by Shep Fields and His Orchestra with vocals by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross. Dorothy Lamour's solo recording of the song was also popular and has led to many mistakenly believing over the years that it was she and Hope who sang the tune in the film (in which Lamour also appeared). In the film, Hope and Ross's characters are a couple who were married briefly and then divorced, and after other failed marriages, meet and sing poignantly about the good times of their failed relationship. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and became Hope's signature tune, with many different lyrics adapted to any situation.
