If I Were A Bell Lyrics - Red Garland's Piano - Red Garland

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 bridge 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, 

If I were a bell 

I'd go "Ding dong ding dong ding!".
