If I Were a Bell

Words and Music by Frank Loesser
from Guys and Dolls

Performed by Stacey Kent

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've just gotta 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 springs 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 Well, if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing Ask me how to describe This whole beautiful thing Well, if I were a bell I'd go ding dong, ding dong ding!
