Life would be wonderful Life would be wonderful 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 cozy Inside his little cardboard box 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 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
