Wouldn't this old world be better, 
If the folks we meet would say: 
I know something good about you, 
And 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 here be more pleasant, 
If the good that's in us all 
Were the only things about us 
That folks bothered to recall!

Wouldn't life be lots more happy 
If we'd praise the good we see! 
For there's such a lot of goodness 
In the worst of you and me.

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