John Northern - If We Had a Window Lyrics

Jungle Bill's burly brindle
Staggered down the street
Searching for the bones
Of a beef long ago deceased
Wearing a pirate suit
Got a shovel between his teeth
Buried canine treasure
Such a dandy treat

If we had a window
We'd have a point of view
And if we get enough rain
We'll have a river too
And we'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
Soon we shall know
That brighter day

I went to the Italian opera
When I was quite young
Paid two dollars to get in
Though I couldn't speak
A word that was sung
But I hollered bravo
And I loved every sound
Sitting in them two dollar seats
Two dollar people all around

If we had a window
We'd have a point of view
And if we get enough rain
We'll have a river too
And we'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
Soon we shall know
That brighter day

Hurry hurry my darling
Hurry one and all
Angels from the Briar wood
Are singing in the hall

Tangled foot fool on a tight rope
To the left and right did sway
Worrying folks down below
He might fall and ruin their day
Not a soul standing there
Could scarcely believe their eyes
When that tangled foot fool
Did simply up and fly

If we had a window
We'd have a point of view
And if we get enough rain
We'll have a river too
And we'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
We'll sail away
Soon we shall know
That brighter day
