Lyrics If I Were a Bell - Ruth Brown

Ask me how do I feel,
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 goodnight,
That′s the way I just gotta behave,
And 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 a gate I′d be swinging!
And if I were a watch,
I′d start popping my spring,
Oh, and 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 I'd be burning!
Well, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way 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
Now that we′re fondly caressing;
And if I were a salad,
I know I'd be splashing my dressing!
Or if I were a season,
I'd surely be Spring,
Yes, and if I were a bell,
Say, if I were a bell,
I′d go "Ding dong ding dong ding!".
