If I Were a Bell Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we′re cosy 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 I were 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 morale 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
