 Danny's Promise

Danny Thomas in church did make

A promise to St. Jude that he,

If successful, would undertake

A cause in St. Jude's memory.

Saint of hopeless causes, St. Jude

Became for Danny cause for hope.

As show business success ensued,

A dream for good widened in scope.

In Memphis, Tennessee began

A childrens' hospital to cure

Cancers over a worldwide span,

A good and hopeful cause for sure.

Thanks to a promise Danny made

Children survive in cure crusade.
