LYRICS
I could while away the
hours,
Conferrin’ with the flowers
With inspired dialogue!
And my
head I’d be scratchin’
while my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a
blog!
I’d unravel every
riddle
For any individ’le,
Now watch me turn m’ cogs
With my
brain at my command
I could be another Ayn Rand
If I only had a
blog!
Oh, I could tell you
why
the ocean’s near the shore.
I could think of things I
never
thunk before.
And then I’d sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a
nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
Or buried in a bog
I would
dance and be merry,
Life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a
blog!
When a man’s an empty
kettle
He should be on his mettle,
And yet I’m in a fog
Just
because I’m presumin’
That I could be kind-a-human,
If I only had a
blog!
I’d be tender - I’d be
gentle
And awful sentimental
Might even kiss a frog
I’d be
friends with the sparrows
And the boy who shoots the
arrows
If I only had a
blog!
Picture me - a
balcony.
Above a voice sings low.
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
I
hear a beat … how sweet.
Just to register
emotion,
Jealousy - devotion,
And give life a good slog!
I could
stay young and chipper
And I’d lock it with a zipper,
If I only had a
blog!
Yeah, it’s sad, believe me,
Missy,
When you’re born to be a sissy
Without the juice and
jog
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a
mou-ess
If I only had a
blog!
[instrumental for one
verse]
Oh, I could tell you
why
the ocean’s near the shore.
I could think of things I
never
thunk before.
And then I’d sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a
nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
Or buried in a bog
I would
dance and be merry,
Life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a
blog!
