If I were a kangaroo
I'd wanna carry you in my pocket
If I were a koala bear
I'd wanna always have you there in my pocket
Would you be my baby?
Would you be my baby?
If I were a chimpanzee
I'd take you out dancing in my jungle
If I were an orangutan
I'd want you to come and hang around my jungle
Would you be my monkey?
Would you be my monkey?
If I were a nightingale
My songs would float like a trail behind you
If I were an albatross
There'd be no sea or ocean I wouldn't cross to find you
Would you be my birdie?
Would you be my birdie?
If I were your nеxt-door neighbor
I'd provide anonymous favors evеry day
If I were just a casual acquaintance
I'd renew my vow of determined patience every day
Would you be my baby?
Would you be my monkey?
Would you be my birdie?
And could I be your baby?
