lyrics

if i was a tiny creature
if i was a tiny creature
laying low and living on the land
i wouldn't need no schooling teacher
no president, no dollar preacher
always trying to tell me where i stand
and we could take it so slow
me without nowhere to go
and you could hold me right there in your hand

or if i was the sweetest apple
if i was the sweetest apple
russet-red and hanging on a tree
you wouldn't need no whisky bottle
you wouldn't need no spark and throttle
you wouldn't need no sugar in your tea
we could have it so fine
sitting in the sunshine
until you come and take a bite of me

or if i was a great big whale
if i was a great big whale
big and blue and swimming in the sea
you wouldn't need no letters home
no satellite, no telephone
helping carry message from me
you'd always be sure to know
no matter how far off you go
you could hear me singing songs about my love

or if i was a tiny creature.
