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, who 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   And I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad   Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad      When he died, I inherited his wealth   Oh yeah and I revealed my self   I was snubbed by the friends he'd never had   Oh yeah, who sided with my dad   All my riches are beyond control   But it's the same old rigmarole   They say I've lost my very soul   Maybe I have   But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad   Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad      And as I grew so did my fame   So I gave it up and changed my name   It's catch as catch can and   You'll never know who I am      When I died, I hoped to hear the angel's song   Oh yeah, but was I wrong   They threw me back there in that lane   Oh yeah and they said "start again"   So when you're turning out the bedside light   Consider me and my wretched plight   Looks like I'm gonna have to get it right this time   But I'm here to tell you that it's not all bad   Count your blessings and maybe   You'll be glad
