Wouldnit “swing” Songtext
von Yoko Ono

Wouldn′t it be nice to be a heroine?
Cool and slinky with an appropriate smile
Honey, I take sugar, two
While he's ranting and raving
Could you pass that cream?
I was looking to have a cupa tea
Instead I freeze
Seeing his next move, is it grabbing my hair?
Or bushing my tush
Till there′s no scream left?
Wouldn't it be nice to be a heroine?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Mmm
Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero?
Standing fast and easy with an appropriate grin
Brother, not that way, they′ll take you away
Mmm, give me your gun


It′s no use to anyone
Instead I freeze
Seeing if I shut up and stay real still
Maybe he wont kill
At least not me
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
Mmm
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Shinin′ and sparklin', looking down the whole and plenty
Being looked up with a telescope
While my sisters busy cutting the rope
Daddy, you can′t touch me
Mommy, you can't hate me
I′m a star, get it?
Instead I froze
And I let them, I let them
I let them pick my brain
Twist my arm, cut my throat
And wish me dead
But I'm still thinking
Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit, wouldnit?
Wouldnit?
