"If I were a poet"
If I were a poet, I would write a sonnet;
It would say "I love you" -- your name would be on 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, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la;
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la la.
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, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la;
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la la.
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, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la;
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la la.
I am not a baker, don't know bread from batter,
And I'm not a painter; but 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, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la;
Fa la la, la la la la, la la la la la la.
