If I Were a Bell (Live)

If I Were a Bell (Live) - Carmen McRae

Ask me how do I feel

Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging

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 just got to 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

Me with my quiet upbringing

All I can say

If I were a gate I'd be swinging

And if I were a watch I'd start

Popping my spring

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

All I can say

If I were a bridge I'd be burning

Yes I knew my moral was 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

Or if I were a season I'd surely be spring

Or if I were a belll

I'd go ding dong ding dong ding
