If I Were a Bell ("Guys and Dolls") Songtext
von Shirley Bassey

Ask me... how do I feel,
Ask me 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 tonight
That′s the way I just got to behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light!
And 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, 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 learnin'
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bridge
I′d be burning
Yes, I'd do, my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you look
Boy, if I were a duck I′d quack!
And if I were a goose I'd be cooked!

Ask me how do I feel,
ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Well, if I were a salad I know I′d be splashing my dressing
Ask me how to describe this whole beautiful thing
Well, if I were a bell I′d go ding dong, ding dong ding!
Ding dong, ding dong ding!
