I'M GLAD THAT I'M BUGS BUNNY
(Alan Livingston / Warren Foster / Mike Maltese / Billy May)
Mel Blanc - 1950


I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat
They are the very reasons I never wear a hat
My teeth stick out in front, like pickets in a fence
And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents

But I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was an elephant, then I'd be really sunk
For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk
Suppose I was a zebra with stripes from head to tail
I bet they'd think that I'd escaped and throw me back in jail

Oh, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was a tall giraffe and swallowed carrots yummy
With that long neck I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy
Suppose I was a big fat pig, I might as well be frank
I wouldn't care to end up as some kiddy's piggy bank

So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Mnyah.....What's up, Doc?

Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldn't have a friend
I'd be alone excepting for a scent I couldn't spend
Suppose I was a gator in the swamps where time would drag
Until the day when I'd be made into a travelin' bag

So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

Suppose I was turkey, then I'd end up on a tray
In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day
Suppose I was bullfrog croakin' out a note
I dread the time when I would be a frog in someone's throat

So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!

PORKY PIG: B'dea...b'dea...b'dea...b'dea...That's all, folks!
