i like to feel pretty inside

a mink wears a mink coat the whole year around

even when he is not going to town

a skunk has a stripped 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 the 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 inside

if a mink wore a fur coat the whole year around

if he had to wear it when he went to town

if a skunk had a red coat and smell like a rose

do you think he'd turn up his nose?

if elephants have fur as likely as not

a leopard would have stripes and the 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
