If I Were Lyrics - Sesame Street

If I were a poet 

I would write a sonnet 

It would say "I love you" 

Your name would be upon it 

If I were a farmer 

I'd give you a bunny 

If I had a beehive 

You would get free honey 

Fa la la (many times) 

If I were a baker 

You could have a cruller 

If I were a painter 

Choose your favorite color 

If I had some diamonds 

I'd give you a few 

Anything to show you 

How much I love you 

Fa la la, etc. 

Did you guess my secret? 

I am not a poet 

Couldn't write a sonnet 

And I think you know it 

I am not a farmer 

Can't give you a bunny 

I don't have a beehive 

Sorry 'bout the honey 

Fa la la, etc. 

I am not a baker 

Don't know bread from batter 

And I am not a painter 

And it doesn't matter 

I don't need a present 

All I have to do 

Is look at you to show you 

How much I love you 

Fa la la, etc.
