If I Were A Bell

Dinah Washington · 8 Classic Albums [2011]

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 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



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



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



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 bell



Yes, if I were a bell, if I were a bell



I'd go ding dong ding dong ding
