I've never seen an elephant, and an elephant's never seen me. I can't swing like a monkey can from the branch of a tropical tree. I don't roar like a lion does, but a lion can't read my books; I'm not as huge as a hippo is, but a hippo hasn't my looks. Thank you God, Thank you God, for it's very plain to see, that the animals like the way they are, and I'm glad that I like me. I've never met an octopus, and no octopus ever met me. I can't dive like a dolphin does through the waves of an indigo sea. I can't flop like a flounder can, or sing like a whale in the blue; I can't leap like a flying fish, but the fish can't think like I do. Thank you God, thank you God, for it's very plain to see that the fish all like the way they are, and I'm glad that I like me. I'm never heard a mocking bird, and a mocking bird's never heard me. I can't climb like a sky lark climbs, or nest on the top of a tree. I can't hold what a pelican, but a pelican cannot cry; I can dream of an aeroplane even though I cannot fly. Thank you God, thank you God, for it's very plain to see, that the birds all like the way they are, and I'm glad that I like me.
