Show Merry Christmas, If . . . (Dedicated To My Wife By Willard Day) If I were Santa Claus and had my choice of it all, I'd forget toys and reindeer and keep you for my doll. If life was a checker game and could be played just so, I'd play a game of give-away to get you to my king row. If I could be judge, jailer or even play the part, I'd lock you up forever in the cell of my heart. If I were a farmer had to till the ground, I'd work like a fool forever to have you around. I could be a painless dentist pull their teeth while they fight, If I had assurance of coming home to you at night. Yes, or even a lawyer defend them right or wrong, If when office hours were over I could listen to your song. .1 could be a scientist know the secrets of earth and stars above, I would ask for nothing more than how to win your love. I would love to be an explorer from north to south pole, If through my jungle travels I could find the way to your soul. I would enjoy being a florist have a flower pot, If you would guarantee to be my forget-me-not. I'd enjoy going to a hospital or even worse, If you'd consent to be my private nurse. I wouldn't mind being a merchant, worry about selling stock, If I knew your heart beats for mine like the ticking of a clock. If I owned a 5 and 100 store, I'd spend every dime, Just to hear you whisper that you would be mine. If life is a great responsibility kids a lot of bother, I'd be willing to be the Dad just to have you for the mother. If I were a manufacturer of furniture l,et it be said, I was never guilty of building a twin bed. ' In 1953 more than 61.5 billion telephone calls were completed in the United States.
