If I were a carpenter I'd hammer in the mornin' oops If I were a carpenter and you were a railin' I'd nail you anyway hey man I'm sailin' If I were a moonshiner would you still find me Pedlin' the booze I make in the middle of the freeway If I were an old statute and you were a pidgeon Hummm hum hum I wouldn't put you above me If I were a fisherman and you were a mermaid Would you swallow a worm for me or would you rather have a fish aid If I were a farmer would you be frightened To work in the hay with me that'd be excitin' If I were a miller by the name of Roger I guess I'd be King of the Road that rich little codger Workin' with wood is OK with me Hey I got a saw you wannna see my saw It's a see saw you block head You wanna see my work shop baby oh will you pine for me You kinda left me out on a limb that time If I were a carpenter I'd mash my fingers I think we got this song pretty well built Just nail it down before the studio falls in
