If l was a bird and you was a fish
what would we do, l guess we'd wish
for re-incarnation, re-incarnation
wouldn't it be a sensation
to come back too, like reincarnation

If l was a tree and you was a flower
what would we do, l guess we'd wait for the power
of re-incarnation, re-incarnation,
wouldn't it be a sensation
to come back too, like reincarnation

l love you, and don't you know l always will
you're a girl, l'm a boy,
but suppose you were a rose
and l was a whip-poor-will
