You Are Pretty

You are pretty
You are black
You are beautifully dressed in lovely fur
Finely curled
Perfectly
You are pretty
Elegant
You are black

You are handsome
You are blue
You are beautifully dressed in feathers
Straight
You're first rate
Obviously you are handsome
Elegant
You are blue


Notes

King Friday XIII has been known to sing a royal version of this song:

I am handsome
I am a king
I am royaly dressed in robes of silk
That's my ilk
Regally I am handsome
Undoubtedly I'm a king

In Episode 1127, Mrs. Saunders sings a "handsome" version of this song to Prince Tuesday:

You are handsome
You're a prince
You have wonderful eyes and baby hair
You are there
Inside and outside handsome
Surely you are a prince

In Episode 1129, Lady Aberlin sings an "owl" version of this song to Cousin Mary Owl:

You're a big owl
You are nice
You are beautifully dressed in feathers straight
You're first rate
Perfectly you're a big owl
Honestly, you are nice

Later in the episode, Mister Rogers sings a "special" version:

You are special
You're my friend
You are beautifully dressed in your own skin
You are in
Definitely you are special
Obviously, you're my friend
