If i had a waterfall
We wouldn't wonder, not at all
How much fun each day was gonna be
If i had a mountain top
I know we would never stop
Climbing way high up to look and see
If i had a jellyfish
I betcha we would never miss
A single peanut butter kiss or squeeze
If i had a waterfall
It might not make no sense at all
But that won't matter much to you and me
Babies get born, even in a war
I guess just to show us, what livin's for
And my heart still believes that love
For what we need can be enough
If we'll just stop keepin' score
If i had a big giraffe
That tried to dance and made us laugh
Every smile and giggle would be free
If i had a big moonlight
We'd turn it back on every night
Just so the dark could try and get some sleep
And if i had a rocket ship
We'd go places really quick
Then have the time to stop and get ice cream
If i had a big giraffe
He'd have to take a real long bath
And that's why waterfalls are really neat
Babies get born, even in a war
I guess just to show us, what livin's for
And my heart still believes that love
For what we need can be enough
If we'll just stop keepin' score
If i had an everything
We could stand out in the rain
And only feel the drops we wanted to
If i had a wonderful
We could play out in the snow
And never have to wear our socks and shoes
If i had a pot of luck
I wouldn't have to spend a buck
And get all the stuff we needed for a sneeze
If i had an everything
We wouldn't get wet in the rain
And ridin' waterfalls would be a breeze
If i had a big giraffe
He'd have to take a real long bath
And that's why waterfalls are really neat
