=E2=80=8BDame Edna would approve:

Many people ask me my secret of success

Is it in the way I speak or the lovely way I dress?
Is it poise or personality, what illusive little facet?
Let me help you put your finger on my single greatest asset.

It's my niceness, I pride myself on my niceness,
It's such a gift without price,

to be nice, even when you feel blue,

'Cause I really care

and I've come here to share
my wonderful, wonderful, niceness with you.

What is it that makes us different from the creatures
=E2=80=8B =E2=80=8B
in the zoo?

It isn't brains and beauty
=E2=80=8B,
 animals have got those too
It cannot be intelligence, just look at all those rats and
=E2=80=8B
mice

But Dame Nature's blessed us alone with a gift of being nice.

Niceness raises all of us above the common herd
So join me in my hymn of praise to my favourite four-letter word.

She's got niceness

Edna prides herself on her niceness

She's got a gift without price 'cos she's nice.

When other folks make a fuss she really does care

Loves here to share

Wonderful, wonderful niceness with us.
