Wouldn'tcha Like To...
The Backstory…
When I was a kid, an adult once asked me, “What do you think you’ll be 20 years from now?” Of course, my plethora-filled answer included: a veterinarian, rock star, nurse and animal lover. “Wouldn’tcha Like To…” asks kids to imagine what they’d like to DO, TRY, PLAY, BE and where they’d like to GO now, which inspired more colorful results.
I would have definitely been the tot in the lemon jell-o pool.
Lyrics
Wouldn’tcha like to do, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Anything you would like to do,
Ride a elephant, or fly to the moon,
Make a snowman in the month of June,
Just, doodle-ee oodle-doodle, doodle-ee-oodle-ee-do!
Wouldn’tcha like to go, oh, oh, oh,
Up to a mountaintop full snow,
Then ride a sled like in the rodeo,
And yoddle…
Yodle-ee-odle-yodle-yodle-ee-odle-ee-yoh!
Wouldn’tcha like to try, i, i, i,
To open your arms and fly,
Above the trees and through the clouds in the sky,
Summersault and flip a mile high,
Just flydle-ee-idle-flydle, flydle-ee idle-ee-fly!
You know, anything goes, You can even jump into a pool of jiggly lemon jell-o!
Imagine a rocket ship made out of your bed. Yes, pretending is all your head…
Wouldn’tcha like to be, ee, ee, ee,
The king of a castle or maybe a queen,
A hockey player, or a star on TV,
A cake maker, you can be anything,
Just beedle-ee-eedle-beedle, beedle-eedle-ee-bee!
Wouldn’tcha like to play, ay, ay, ay,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Everyday!
Twister, Mousetrap, the Candyland game,
Hide and seek, or just a little horseplay!
Yeah, playdle-ee-adle-playdle-playdle-ee adle-ee-play!
Just playdele-ee-adle-beedle-flydle-ee-yodle-ee do!
