Sesame Street, Bob McGrath, Big Bird - Aren’t You Glad You’re You? lyrics

(Song)

Every time you're near a rose
Aren't you glad you've got a nose?
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren't you glad you're you?

When a meadowlark appears
Aren't you glad you've got two ears?
And if your heart is singin' too
Aren't you glad you're you?

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie

Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?

And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born?

Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you?

(Spoken)

You know, Big Bird
I really like being myself

Yeah, me too, Bob

There's something I've been wanting
To ask you
Though what's it like being a bird?

Being a bird? Uh, well, you roost a lot

(Song)

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie

Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?

And when you wake up each morn
Aren't you glad that you were born?
Think what you've got the whole day through
Aren't you glad you're you?
Aren't you glad you're you?
