ella fitzgerald – if i were a bell lyrics

ask me how do i feel, ask me now that we’re cosy and clingin’
well sir, all i can say, is if i were a bell i’d be ringin’
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 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

yes, i knew my morale 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
or if i were a gate, i would swing, have a fling almost any old thing
or if i were a bell i’d go ding dong, ding dong
ding dong ding dong ding dong ding ding dong
