If I were a jolly blacksmith What a happy guy I'd be I would do all kinds of blacksmith stuff In my blacksmithery I would hit the thing with the other thing 'Till I made a different thing! If I were a jolly blacksmith!
No, I'm not feeling it. Besides, I'd get dirty. There must be something better. Ooh!
If I were a friendly farmer Wouldn't that be oh so sweet? I'd be planting greens, and lots of beans And lots of things to eat Then I'd plant some eggs, then a couple pigs Then a yummy chocolate cake!
No, that's not right. Besides, any moron can plant a cake. I want to be special, needed, liked! I've got it!
If I were a merry brewer That would be a grand career I would pick the grapes, and peel the grapes And stomp them into beer Dammit! I don't know how to do anything except be a king! Nobody wants me to be a king.
If I'm just a jolly nothing What am I supposed to do? I don't have a skill, no niche to fill No one to come home to Don't know where to go, don't know how to fit Don't know who to even be If I were a jolly tailor, juggler, barber, wet nurse, cesspool worker
Ugh, what difference does it make? I would still be me
