AREN'T YOU GLAD YOU'RE YOU (THE BELLS OF ST. MARY'S, 1945)

The sequel to the classic Going My Way, Crooner Bing Crosby returns as Father Chuck O'Malley at friendly rivalry with Sister Mary Benedict played by the eternal graceful, Ingrid Bergman. Crosby sang the classic Aren't You Glad You're You?


AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU’RE YOU
sung by: Bing Crosby


Every time you’re near a rose
Aren’t you glad you’ve got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren’t you glad you’re you

When a meadowlark appears
Aren’t you glad you’ve got two ears
And if your heart is singin’ too
Aren’t you glad you’re you

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain’t life grand

And when you wake up each morn
Aren’t you glad that you were born
Think what you’ve got the whole day through
Aren’t you glad you’re you

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Every time you’re near a rose
Aren’t you glad you’ve got a nose
And if the dawn is fresh with dew
Aren’t you glad you’re you

When a meadowlark appears
Aren’t you glad you’ve got two ears
And if your heart is singin’ too
Aren’t you glad you’re you

You can see a summer sky
Or touch a friendly hand
Or taste an apple pie
Pardon the grammar, but ain’t life grand

And when you wake up each morn
Aren’t you glad that you were born
Think what you’ve got the whole day through
Aren’t you glad you’re you
