[Verse 1]
I was born with a coathanger in my mouth
(Oh yeah) And I was dumped down south
I was found by the richest man in the world
(Oh yeah) He bought me up as a girl
My sheets are satin but my mind's a mess
But there are worse things I confess
Than drinking tea in a pretty dress

[Chorus]
And I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad
Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad

[Verse 2]
When he died, I inherited his wealth
(Oh yeah) And I revealed myself
I was snubbed by friends that he'd never had
(Oh yeah) They sided with my dad
All my riches are beyond control
It's the same old rigmarole
They say I've lost my very soul
Maybe I have

[Chorus]
But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad
Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad
[Bridge]
And as I grew so did my fame
I gave it up and changed my name
It's catch as catch can and
You'll never know who I am

[Verse 3]
When I died, I hoped to hear the angel's song
(Oh yeah) But was I wrong
They threw me right back there in that lane
(Oh yeah) They said, "Boy, start again"
So when you're turning off your bedside light
Consider me in my wretched plight
Looks like I'm gonna have to get it right this time

[Chorus]
But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad
Count your blessings and you'll be glad
Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad
