Why complain about your clothes and your shoes
Why complain about your teacher and her rules
Why complain when there so many with no home
Why complain when you have one for your own.
CHORUS
Just be thankful for the good things that you’ve got x 2
The good things that you’ve got are for many a dream
Just be thankful for the good things that you’ve got.
Why complain about the way that you look
Why complain about the scolding that you took
Why complain when so many cannot run
Why complain when you are having so much fun.
CHORUS
Just be thankful for the good things that you’ve got x 2
The good things that you’ve got are for many a dream
Just be thankful for the good things that you’ve got.
Why complain about the way that you look
