If I could dance the tango,
                                      and you could play the violin;
if I could sing like Caruso,
                                        and you could bring the gin;
if on
        some nice soft sofa we could snuggle up together
                                      like newly found long-lost kin
to discuss the widespread need
                                          for much more original sin -
if we could then sit up awhile
                         to share an apple or a fresh-peeled pear,
     and wash it down, perhaps,
                                            with a glass of vin ordinaire;
if we could then wish together that
                       good ol' Charlie Shultz would still be there
to make his sweet-tempered Lucy
                                  and poor ol' Charlie Brown prepare
to kick at a football that we know
                                                 will never ever be there.

If we could do these things,
                                         my friend, my love,
before the trumpets blow,
                                       or pigs sprout wings,
I'd count the nights, the days, well spent,
       the hours fine,
                            and would not repent
these busily idle hours used to banish our despair,
for I would gladly
                         dance the tango
                                          as you play the violin,
and we
           could be content, I  think, even with
                                        just old-fashioned sin!
