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
