Lyrics Sarah Vaughan

Sarah Vaughan

If I Were A Bell

Ask me...how do I feel,

Ask me now that we’re cosy 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!

And 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...

Oh, 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 learnin’

Yeah, chemistry!

Well, sir, all I can say

Is if I were a bridge

I’d be burning

Yes, I’d do, my moral would crack

From the wonderful way that you look

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

Oh, if I were a salad

I know I’d be splashing my dressing

Ask me how to describe

This whole beautiful thing

Oh, if I were a bell

If I were a bell

Oh, if I were a bell

I’d go ding-dong-ding-dong

ding-dong-ding-dong-ding!
