What if? wa wa wa wa wa what if? everybody wonders what if
wa wa wa wa wa what if?

what if a lion comes to our door?
we'll feed it candy 'till it can't eat any more
what if little monkeys invade our house?
we'll dress 'em in tuxedos and play Mozart and Strauss
what if muddy piglets come into my room?
we'll wash the mud off and spray them with perfume
what if a polar bear follows me home?
we'll fill the house with ice and then we'll leave it alone

what if? wa wa wa wa wa what if? everybody wonders what if
wa wa wa wa wa what if?

what if some crows try to come inside?
we'll move all the furniture so they can fly
what if the basement is full of worms?
we'll truck in dirt and wait to take our turn
what if a bear walks through our gate?
we'll hide 'till winter and it hibernates
what if a snake crawls under my bed?
we'll make a tiny pillow for his tiny head I know that

every day in every way the world is the kind of place
where everything and anything goes
the snake you saw might be long and sure it's here inside this song
but it also might be garden hose
if you have fears don't shed a tear I know it's odd and I know it's weird
when the planet seems random and strange
if it's moving to fast you can always ask
and I will take the time to explain

what if? everybody wonders what if
