lyrics

Woke up today with a scratchy sore throat
How could I be so unlucky?
Then a giant giraffe, he poked through my window
He snorted and frowned, and then he said to me:

Your throat’s a little scratchy, but imagine this just for a sec:
A throat that’s six feet long, and every inch is sore as heck!

You know it always could be be worse
The grass is always greener in the other fellow’s yard
That’s right it always could be worse
Try an attitude of gratitude, it’s really not that hard!
(instrumental tag)

Back of the car, on family vacation
Driving all day, bored as can be
When out the blue a bird swooped up beside us
chirped her disapproval, and then she said to me:

Riding in a car? That’s an amazing luxury!
Each year I fly ten thousand miles -- no fancy jet, just me!
Argentina to Alaska and at all points in between
I’ve never hitched a ride! Be grateful
For this fine machine!

You know it always could be be worse
The trip is always longer when you focus on the bad
That’s right it always could be worse. Picture
Walking there instead and POOF! Suddenly, you’re glad!

(instrumental tag)

At the picnic I ate a whole banana cream pie
Got a tummy ache immediately
So I lay down on the grass, going “ooofff..”
when a sassy spotted cow sauntered up and said to me:

It’s lousy feeling ill, but chew on this, my human friend
four tummy-aches at once takes a longer time to mend
Where you have just one stomach, a cow like me has FOUR
But that doesn’t mean I always eat just more and more and more
The key is moderation; no, I can't eat too much grass
If I do, my belly hurts till all the gas is passed

You know it always could be be worse
The grass is always greener in the other fellow’s yard
That’s right it always could be worse
Try an attitude of gratitude, it’s really not that hard!
(instrumental tag)
