| Sir hand | |
| Or is it ma'am | |
| I fell out of my right place again | |
| And you | |
| Considered me | |
| And now I'm where a snail has to be | |
| I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| Was it something you would do for anybody? | |
| Was it what you'd only do for me? | |
| I need to know because you see | |
| I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| Friend | |
| Look what you gave | |
| And how can you ever be repaid? | |
| How may I give you a hand | |
| From the position at your feet where I stand? | |
| So let me thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| I'd like to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| Was it something you would do for anybody? | |
| Was it what you'd only do for me? | |
| I need to know because you see | |
| I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
| Snail Shell | |
| Thank you | |
| Snail Shell | |
| Thank you | |
| Ah | |
| Ah | |
| Ah | |
| Was it something you would do for anybody? | |
| Was it what you'd only do for me? | |
| Or was it something where you acted when you saw the need | |
| And knew that there would be a way the act could be repaid | |
| And so it may, but for today | |
| I want to thank you for putting me back in my snail shell | |
