One, two,

A one two kazoo

If I were a gorilla,

La la la la la

I'd eat me a banana.

Na na na na na

I'd live in a treehouse

And swing on a vine,

But one thing is sure:

I would love ya,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And if I were a tuba,

Ba ba ba ba ba

All I'd do is oompah.

Pah pah pah pah pah

I would take a big breath,

And I would march in a band,

But one thing is sure:

I would love ya,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

'Cause it don't matter to me-

Whatever you happen to be;

An eagle,

An onion,

A pig or a grape,

As long as you're you,

I will love ya.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And if I were a space ship,

Ip ip ip ip ip

I would take a long trip.

Rip rip rip rip rip

I would circle the planets

And head for the stars,

And then I'd come home,

'Cause I love ya.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And if I were a daisy,

Sy sy sy sy sy

Would you still be my baby?

By by by by by

I would pull all my petals out,

One at a time,

And always come up with

I love ya

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

'Cause it don't matter to me-

Whatever you happen to be;

A beagle,

A grunion,

A fig or an ape,

As long as you're you,

I'll still love ya.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ba-bum-bump.
