How would you like to be?

a little circus clown
And you could wear a smile
               F
Instead of a frown

    F7                A#
How would you like to be?
               F
a little kangaroo
                  C
a-hoppin' up and down
                      F
And I could hop with you

Chorus:
              C
Come on and smile a little, smile a little
 F
hop a little, hop a little,
  C                           F
Smile a little, hop a little bit with me

  C
Smile a little, smile a little
 F
hop a little, hop a little,

Smile a little, hop a little bit with me

Oh ho, ha ha, a-tra la la la la la la

How would you like to be?
a little buzzing bee
And instead of a tree
You could buzz around me

How would you like to be?
a little mocking bird
And you can sing me songs
Like I never heard

Chorus:
Come on and buzz a little, buzz a little
Sing a little, sing a little
Buzz a little, sing a little bit with me

Buzz, buzz, buzz a little
Do re mi a little
Buzz a little, sing a little bit with me

Oh ho, ha ha, a-tra la la la la la la
Oh ho, ha ha, a-tra la la la la la la

How would you like to be?
a little baby bear
And you can hug me tight
Any time you care

How would you like to be?
a little dancing doll
And you could dance with me
Everytime I call

Oh ho, ha ha, a-tra la la la la la la
