Ask me how do I feel
-3  -3 -3   -2    -2 
Ask me now that we're 
-3 -2 -2    -3   1
Co-sy and cling-ing 
4     4    4 -3 -3  -3
Well sir, all I can say, 
4   4 4  -3 -3  4    -3 -3  -5   3
is if I were a bell I'd be ring-ing! 

-3    3  -2  -2  -2   -2   -2  -3*
From the mo-ment we kissed to-night 
-3      3  -2   -2   -2  -2  -2 -2  4
That's the way I've just got-ta be-have 
-3   3 -2  -2 -2  -2   -2   -5
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light 
5  -5 6  5* -5  6   5* -5   6
Or If I were a ban-ner I'd wave! 

-3  -3 -3  -2-2  -2
Ask me how do I feel, 
-3  -3  -3  -2  -2 -3  -2 -2  -3    1
Lit-tle me with my qui-et up-bring-ing 
4     4    4 -3 -3  -3   4  4  
Well sir, all I can say is if 
4  -3 -3   4  -3  -3   -5   3
I were a gate I'd be swing-ing! 
-3  3 -2  -2 -2  -2
And if I were a watch 
-2   -3*  -5   -4  -5   4
I'd start pop-ping my springs! 

-3 -3-3  -2 -2  -3   -2 -2
Or if I were a bell I'd go 
6     5     -3   -1   -2
ding dong, ding dong ding! 


Ask me how do I feel from this 
Chem-is-try les-son I'm learn-ing. 
 
Well sir, all I can say is if 

I were a bridge I'd be burning! 

Yes, I knew my moral 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 
Well, 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!
