If I Were a Bell Songtext
von Carmen McRae

Ask me how do I feel, ask me now that we′re cozy and clingin'
Well, sir, all I can say is, if I were a bell I′d be ringin'
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I′ve just gotta behave
Boy, 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 gate I′d be swinging
And if I were a watch, I'd start popping my springs
Or 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
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that 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, ask me now that we′re fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad, I know I′d be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Or if I were a bell I′d go ding-dong, ding-dong ding
