Wouldn't this world be better,
if the folks we meet would say:
I know something good about you,
then treat us just that way!

Wouldn't it be fine and dandy,
if each hand-clasp warm and true,
carried with it this assurance--
I know something good about you!

Wouldn't things be pleasant,
if the good that's in us all
were the only things about us
that people ever recall!

Wouldn't life be happy
if we praised the good we see!
There's such a lot of goodness
in the worst of you and me.

Wouldn't it be nice to practice
this way of thinking too;
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you!
