If I Were a Bell

1950 – Frank Loesser

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 gotta behave

Boy, 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 springs

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 moral would crack

From the wonderful way that 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, ask me now that we’re fondly caressing

Well, if I were a salad I know I’d be splashing my dressing

Or if I were a season, I’d surely be spring

Well, if I were a bell I’d go ding dong, ding dong, ding
