If I Were a Bell Lyrics by Josie de Guzman, Peter Gallagher

Guys and Dolls (New Broadway Cast Recording)

1992

[SKY, spoken]
Are you alright?
[SARAH, spoken]
Am I alright?
Ask me how do I feel
[SARAH]
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 got to 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 spring
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
[SKY, spoken]
Ah, chemistry
[SARAH]
Well, sir, all I can say is
If I were a bridge, I'd be burning
Yes, I knew my morale 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
Pal, 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!
