Be Thankful You're You

Don't envy your neighbor with all of his wealth

And things that his money can do

With all of his riches he may not have health

Be thankful, be thankful you're you

Don't covet the talent the other man has

And moan that your talents are few

Just use the one talent on you He bestowed

Be thankful, be thankful you're you

Well, I guess it's only human

For us to look around and see

What other folks possess

And say, "I wish that it were me"

We spend our time in wishing

And soon our life is gone

While we longed for another's chance

And failed to see our own

Don't long for the thing that another has won

His smile may hide tears as the dew

The happiest person's not always the great

Be thankful, be thankful you're you

Be thankful, be thankful you're you
