[Verse 1]
Don't envy your neighbor
With all of his wells
And things that his money can do
With all of his riches
He may not have health
[Refrain]
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
[Verse 2]
Don't covet the talent
The other man has
And know that you're talents are few
Just use the one talent
On you he bestowed
[Refrain]
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
[Bridge]
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 on wishing
And soon our life is gone
Whilе we longed for another's chancе
And failed to see our own
[Verse 3]
Don't long for the fame
That another has won
His smile may hide tears as the due
The happiest person
Is not always the great
[Refrain]
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
Be thankful, be thankful you're you
