If I Were
02/02/12 - FtLd


If I were Errol Flynn
I’d be swinging from a rope
Yeah I’d be swash-buckling
If I were Charlie Chaplin
I’d make you laugh, I’d make you cry
I’d make you think again

Yet somehow
Things seem so different today
Not like when Mickey Rooney said
Come on kids lets put on a play
But sometimes I just don’t know what to say
So won’t you please tell Katharine Hepburn
Everything will be okay

If I were the King and Queen of Spain
I could wave my hand and send you off
To discover anything
If I were Mahatma Gandhi
I could open up your heart
And make you really see

Yet somehow
Things seem so different today
Not like when Molly Brown turned around
To save who she could save
But sometimes I just don’t know what to say
So won’t you please tell Katharine Hepburn
Everything will be okay

If I were Rock Hudson
Living in a world without AIDS
And without sin
If I were Martin Luther King
Trying to help everyone
Share in the dream

Yet somehow
Things seem so different today
Not like when Micky Mantel’s bat
Took the Yankees all the way
But sometimes I just don’t know what to say
So won’t you please tell Katharine Hepburn
Everything will be okay
