Title:  “if”, you’re so terrific – animated version

Composer:  Joe Raposo

Lead vocals:  Judy Graubart

Backing vocals:  none

Scene:  Cartoon with a kid envisioning all sorts of fanciful stuff.

[JG]  “If”, you’re so terrific.

“If”, I’m gonna be specific.

“If” is a kind of special word.

“If” is a word that helps me dream

When, “if”, I imagine lots of things,

No matter how strange those things may seem.

If rocks were made of rubber.

If bicycles could fly?

If city streets were city streams.

If stars fell from the sky.

If vacant lots were jungles.

If kids were ten feet tall.

If there were no such word as “if”,

I’d have no fun at all.

“If”, you’re so terrific.

“If”, I’m gonna be specific.

“If” is a kind of special word.

“If” is a word that helps me dream

When, “if”, I imagine lots of things,

No matter how strange those things may seem.

“If”, you make a difference.

I’m a lucky stiff to have a magnificent “if”.
