I Wish I Was

I Wish I Was You know if I were an animal I'd wish that I was I wish I was a giraffe For only then I could eat of the fruit trees and not grass I'd wish that I was cause I could laugh I'd wish that I was cause I would have extremely long neck and legs Automatically be tall ready for basket ball I wish I was a giraffe So that I'd be at grandstaff I will have horn-like ossicones Atop my head making me so handsome Belly laugh up to the skies I'll have a distinctive coat pattern Make established social hierarchies through "necking" No I don't mean kissing I wish I was a giraffe So that I'd be above the garbage I will inhabit savannahs and woodlands Gallop and graze in the gardens If I were a giraffe I'd intrigued various cultures Both ancient and modern So that I'd be at grandstaff I'd stretch my neck out, and be proud bout' it For its peculiar appearance I will be tall “N” perfect Imagine that...
