A mink
wears a mink coat
the whole year round,
even when he is not going to town.
A skunk has a striped coat,
it's pretty, he thinks,
although we all know he stinks.
An elephant has hide
as hard as a rock
A zebra has stripes
and a leopard has spots
Sometimes I'm sad when I look at my hide
But I'd rather feel pretty inside
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?
I like being kind and I like being true
I like to like me when I close my eyes.
I like to feel pretty inside.
Oh, I like to feel pretty in
side.
If a mink wore a cloth coat
the whole year around
If he had to wear it when he went to town
If a skunk had a red coat
that smelled like a rose
Do you think he'd turn up his nose?
If elephants had fur,
as likely as not
A leopard would have stripes
and a zebra have spots
I guess it would be great
to have a new hide
But I'd rather feel pretty inside
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?
I like being kind and I like being true
I like to like me when I close my eyes.
I like to feel pretty inside.
Oh, I like to feel pretty inside.
I like to feel pretty inside, don't you?
I like being kind and I like being true.
I like to like me when I close my eyes.
I like to feel pretty inside
Oh, I like to feel pretty inside
