If I Was
words and music by Tim Noah © 1985

CHORUS:
I-yi-yi-yi-yi
I-yi-yi-yi
I yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

Now if I was a possum
Hangin’ from my tail in a tree
Everybody would look
Upside down to me

And if I was a bird
Way up in the sky
I wouldn’t stop to wonder
Why I was made to fly

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Now if I was a snake
I couldn’t grow much hair
I wouldn’t have any arms or legs
But I don’t think I’d care

And if I was a lion
Lion in the sun
And you came upon me
Would you want to run?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

If I was an elephant
Now let’s just suppose
What it must be like
To have that long o’ nose

And if I was a rhino
Well, I know what I’d do
I wouldn’t let ‘em put me
In the silly zoo, would you?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

If I was a possum
Hangin’ from my tail in a tree
Everybody would look
Upside down to me

But here I am, I am really me
And after all that’s who I want to be

(REPEAT CHORUS)
