Aren't You Glad You're You
Jimmy Van Heusen Lyrics

Do you make the most of your five senses,
Do you fully utilize all your senses to experience the world?

Or is your life like Old Mother Hubbard's shelf?
Do you feel empty and unfulfilled in life?

Well, mark this on your slate,
Keep this in mind

Life is not an empty plate.
Life is full of experiences and opportunities

That's if you appreciate yourself.
But you can only enjoy them if you appreciate yourself.

Ev'ry time you're near a rose,
Whenever you're close to a rose,

Aren't you glad you've got a nose?
Aren't you grateful for your ability to smell it?

And if the dawn is fresh with dew,
When the morning dew is still fresh,

Aren't you glad you're you?
Don't you feel grateful for your existence?

When a meadowlark appears,
When a meadowlark comes into view,

Aren't you glad you've got two ears?
Aren't you grateful for your ability to hear its song with two ears?

And if your heart is singing, too,
And if your heart is also filled with joy,

Aren't you glad you're you?
Don't you feel grateful for your existence?

You can see a summer sky,
You can observe a beautiful summer sky,

Or touch a friendly hand,
Or experience the touch of a friendly hand,

Or taste an apple pie.
Or indulge in the delicious taste of an apple pie.

Pardon the grammar, but ain't life grand?
Excuse the poor grammar, but isn't life wonderful?

And when you wake up each morn,
And every morning when you wake up,

Aren't you glad that you were born?
Don't you feel grateful for your existence and birth?

Think what you've got the whole day through,
Consider all the experiences and moments you'll have throughout the day,

Aren't you glad you're you?
Aren't you grateful for your existence and ability to experience life?
