I’m thankful that I live in a house
And not in a hole like a mouse
I’m sure it’s very nice
For those little tiny mice
But I’m glad that I live in a house
I’m thankful there’s a bed in which to rest
And not like a bird in a nest
Sleeping in a tree is not the place for me
No I think that a bed for me is best
I’m thankful there are clothes for me to wear
And I’m not fuzzy furry everywhere
A dog or cat would be happy just like that
But I’m glad there are clothes for me to wear
