If I were a jolly blacksmith, what a happy guy I'd be
I would do all kinds of blacksmith stuff in my blacksmithery
I would hit the thing with the other thing 'til I made a different thing
If I were a jolly blacksmith
No, that doesn't feel right, must be something easier, ah
If I were a friendly farmer, wouldn't that be, oh, so sweet?
I'd be planting greens, and lots of beans, and other things to eat
Then I'd plant some eggs, then a couple pigs, then a yummy chocolate cake
No, no, that's not it, besides, everyone and their eight brothers is a farmer
I wanna be special, liked, needed, I've got it
If I were a merry brewer, that would be a grand career
I would pick the grapes, and peel the grapes, and stomp them into beer
Dammit!
I don't know how to do anything except be a king
And noone wants me to be a king
If I'm just a jolly nothing, what am I supposed to do?
I don't have a skill, no niche to fill, no one to come home to
Don't know where to go, don't know how to fit, don't know who to even be
If I were a jolly tailor, juggler, barber, wet nurse, cesspool worker
Ugh, what difference does it make?
I would still be me
