Sesame Street - If I Were - Jim Henson lyrics

If I were a poet I would write a sonnet It would say "I love you" Your name would be upon 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 (many times) 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, etc. 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, etc. I am not a baker Don't know bread from batter And I am not a painter And 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, etc.
