If I Were A Bell
[Intro]
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
[Verse 1]
Ask me how do I feel
Now that we're cozy and clinging
Well, sir, all I can say is
If I were a bell I'd be ringing
From the moment we kissed good night
That's the way I've just got to behave
And if I were a lamp I'd light
And if I were a banner I'd wave
[Verse 2]
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 clock
I'd surely be popping my springs
And if I were a bell I'd go
Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding
A-dong, ding, a-dong, ding, a-dong, ding, a-dong, ding
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Ba, ba, ba
Yes, I knew my morale would crack
From the wondеrful way that you looked
And if I were a duck I'd quack
And if I wеre a goose I'd be cooked
[Verse 4]
Ask me how do I feel
Now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad
Don't you know I'd be splashing my dressing?
Or if I were a season
Boy, I'd surely be spring
And if I were a bell, and if I were a bell
And if I were a bell, and if I were a bell
And if I were a bell I'd go
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding-a-dong-a, ding-a-dong-a, ding-a-dong-a
Ding-a-dong-a, ding-a-dong-a, ding-a-dong-a
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
A-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling
Bong, bong, bong
