THE CANDLESTICK MAKER (Chisholm)
I am the butcher, I am the baker.
On your lawn the leaves, I am the raker.
I am the butcher, I am the baker.
When the earth it shakes, I am the quaker.
If I could be you for a day, everything would be all right.
You for a day, I would lay awake all night.
I’d smile at people, and they would smile back happily.
Being you sure beats the hell out of being me.
And the wise man told me to turn my tail and run,
because he knew the truth: he knew you were not the one.
But what does a wise man know?
Not half as much as me, because he walks alone, without any company.
If I could be you for a day, everything would be all right.
You for a day, I would lay awake all night.
I’d smile at people, and they would smile back happily.
Being you sure beats the hell out of being me.
