If I Were a Bell

Ask me how do I feel, Now that we're cosy and clinging, Well sir, all I can say is If I were a bell I'd be ringing! From the moment we kissed goodnight, That's the way I just gotta behave, And if I were a lamp I'd light, Or if I were a banner I'd wave! Ask me how do I feel, Little me with my quiet upbringing, Well sir, all I can say is If I were a gate I'd be swinging! And if I were a watch, I'd start popping my spring, Oh, and if I were a bell I'd go "Ding dong ding dong ding!". Ask me how do I feel From this chemistry lesson I'm learning, Well sir, all I can say is If I were a bridge I'd be burning! Well, I knew my moral would crack From the wonderful way you looked, Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack, Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked! Ask me how do I feel Now that we're fondly caressing, And if I were a salad, I know I'd be splashing my dressing! Or if I were a season, I'd surely be Spring, Yes, and if I were a bell, Say, if I were a bell, If I were a bell I'd go "Ding dong ding dong ding!". --- If I Were a Bell - Barbara McNair
