To Be Like A Fish, Brisk And Quick, Is My Wish; If Thou Cam'St With Thy Line. Thou Wouldst Soon Make Me Thine. To Be Like A Fish, Brisk And Quick, Is My Wish. Oh, Were I A Steed! Thou Wouldst Love Me Indeed. Oh, Were I A Car Fit To Bear Thee Afar! Oh, Were I A Steed! Thou Wouldst Love Me Indeed. I Would I Were Gold That Thy Fingers Might Hold! If Thou Boughtest Aught Then, I'd Return Soon Again. I Would I Were Gold That Thy Fingers Might Hold! I Would I Were True, And My Sweetheart Still New! To Be Faithful I'd Swear, And Would Go Away Ne'er. I Would I Were True, And My Sweetheart Still New! I Would I Were Old, And Wrinkled And Cold, So That If Thou Said'St No, I Could Stand Such A Blow! I Would I Were Old, And Wrinkled And Cold. An Ape I Would Be, Full Of Mischievous Glee; If Aught Came To Vex Thee, I'd Plague And Perplex Thee. An Ape I Would Be, Full Of Mischievous Glee As A Lamb I'd Behave, As A Lion Be Brave, As A Lynx Clearly See, As A Fox Cunning Be. As A Lamb I'd Behave, As A Lion Be Brave. Whatever I Were, All On Thee I'd Confer; With The Gifts Of A Prince My Affection Evince. Whatever I Were, All On Thee I'd Confer. As Nought Diff'rent Can Make Me, As I Am Thou Must Take Me! If I'm Not Good Enough, Thou Must Cut Thine Own Stuff. As Nought Diff'rent Can Make Me, As I Am Thou Must Take Me!
