If I Were A Bell

(album: Shirley - 1961)

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 learning
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!
