lyrics

IF I WAS FRED

If I was Fred
Would you make me some toast?
And kiss my head
When I left in the morning for the office?

If I was Fred
Would you love me a bunch?
Would you iron my socks
And put little notes in my lunch
Instead of wishing I was dead?

If I was Fred
I'd take you down to Cancun
We'd lie in bed
And watch the tropical moon

Make pools of light
On the hotel floor
With the do not disturb sign
Hung on the door until noon
And eat macaroons
Oh, it ended too soon

And when we fought
Our little spats would be mild
Because one ought
Never to frighten the child

Yes life is a struggle
And love is no song
And you have to make do
And you have to be strong

But you would see
The one for you would be me
If I was Fred
And you were Beverly
