Lyrics If I Were a Bell - The Original Broadway Cast

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy 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've 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 poppin' my spring
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
And 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
Ask me how to describe this whole beautiful thing
Well, if I were a bell, I'd go, "Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding"
