I'm Glad That I'm Bugs Bunny is a song from 1950 released by Capitol Records. It was produced by Alan Livingston and lyrics/music are provided by Michael Maltese.[1] It is sung by Mel Blanc. Bugs sings about how he does not care how he acts or looks despite his own issues, and criticizes others (in this case animals and their problems).

Bugs: I got big funny ears, they are so long and flat
They are the very reasons I never wear a hat
My teeth stick out in front, like pickets in a fence
And as far as riches go, I'm not worth two cents
But I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was an elephant, then I'd be really sunk
For every place I'd ever go, I'd have to take my trunk
Suppose I was a zebra with stripes from head to tail
I bet they'd think that I'd escaped and throw me back in jail
Oh, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was a tall giraffe and swallowed carrots yummy
With that long neck I'd surely starve before they reached my tummy
Suppose I was a big fat pig, I might as well be frank
I wouldn't care to end up as some kiddy's piggy bank
So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Mnyah.....What's up, Doc?
Suppose I was a smelly skunk, I wouldn't have a friend
I'd be alone excepting for a scent I couldn't spend
Suppose I was a gator in the swamps where time would drag
Until the day when I'd be made into a travelin' bag
So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Suppose I was turkey, then I'd end up on a tray
In the middle of the table on the next Thanksgiving Day
Suppose I was bullfrog croakin' out a note
I dread the time when I would be a frog in someone's throat
So, I'm glad to be the way I am
Who cares if I look funny?
No matter what the others have
I'm glad that I'm Bugs Bunny!
Porky Pig: B'dea...b'dea...b'dea...b'dea...That's all, folks!
