If it weren't for YouTube, I wouldn't know this song existed.

[capri0mni]

It's from my between-years as a Sesame Street watcher.

If I were a poet, I would write a sonnet
It would say: "I love you." Your name would be on it.
If I were a farmer, I'd give you a bunny.
If I had a beehive, you would get free honey.

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
la-la-la, la-la-la, la-laa
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
la-la-la, la-la-la, la-laa

If I were a baker, you could have a kruller,
If I were a painter, choose your favorite color.
If I had some diamonds, I'd give you a few.
Anything to show you, how much I love you.

(Fa-la-la, etc.)

Did you guess my secret? I am not a poet.
Couldn't write a sonnet. And I think you know it.
I am not a farmer -- can't give you a bunny.
I don't have a beehive (sorry 'bout the honey)

(Fa-la-la, etc.)

I am not a baker -- don't know bread from batter
And I'm not a painter -- and it doesn't matter.
I don't need a present -- all I have to do
Is look at you to show you
How much I love you.

(Fa-la-la, etc.)
