Lyrics
I was born with a coat hanger 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 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 myself I was snubbed by the friends that he'd never had Oh yeah, they 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 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 right back there in that lane Oh yeah and they said "boy, start again" So when you're turning off the bedside light Consider me in my wretched plight Looks like I'm gonna have to get it right this time But I'm here to tell you that's not all bad Count your blessings and you'll be glad Count your blessings and maybe you'll be glad
