If I Could

If I could
I would be
A balloon
That a little kid let go
Floating through the sky
Flying free
If I could

If I could
I would be
A giraffe
With my head above the trees
So at big parades
I could see
If I could

Jump, and one, and two, and three
Lose to chase a busy bumble bee
Fire on the mountain, run and see
If I'm a fool
Lady, lady turn around
Lady, lady turn and touch the ground
Yankee Doodle went to town
And I'll be late for school--OH, SCHOOL!

If I could
I would be
Old and wise
Knowing all there is to know
Then I'd answer right
Every time
When they ask

If I could
I would be
A balloon
That at little kid let go
Floating through the sky
Flying free
If I could
