Laurence the Lion

By Ralph McTell

If I was a lion I'd roar
That's what my voice is for
If I were a sheep I'd bleat, bleat, bleat
If I was a mouse I'd squeak, squeak, squeak
And if I was a crow I'd caw
If I was a lion I'd roar

If I was a dog I'd bark
Go running in the park
If I was a monkey I'd chatter away
If I was a parrot I'd natter all day
Until it got quite dark
But if I was a dog I'd bark

If I was a cow I'd moo
That's what I'd always do
If I was a frog I'd croak and creak
If I was a vulture I'd squawk and squeak
That's how I'd speak to you
But if I was a cow I'd moo

If I was a rooster I'd crow
So everyone would know
The day has come and the night is gone
Jump out of bed, there's work to be done
And if I was a whale I'd blow
But if I was a rooster I'd crow

If I was a lion I'd roar
That's what my voice is for
If I were a sheep I'd bleat, bleat, bleat
If I was a mouse I'd squeak, squeak, squeak
And if I was a crow I'd caw
If I was a lion I'd roar
