Life Would Be Wonderful - The Residents

If I was a little taller

If I was not quite so old

If my raincoat had a collar

To help me keep away the cold

If my little mouse named Norman

Was still alive inside the sock

He used to keep himself so warm and cozy

Inside his little cardboard box

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful

If I had a nice location

To sit where people passing by

Looked like they were on vacation

And helped me buy some pecan pie

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful

If I could afford a breakfast

Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs

If I hadn’t been so reckless

When I lost my other leg

If there was an open doorway

Where I could be warm and dry

And visit with some memories

I made once upon a time

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful

Life would be wonderful
