“You're a fortunate guy.
And you ought to be shouting, "How lucky am I!"”
Dr. Seuss book Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? (1973)

Where the average young person just hasn't a chance
To escape from the perilous pants-eating plants!
But your pants are safe! You're a fortunate guy.
And you ought to be shouting, "How lucky am I!"
