If I Were A  Gerbil Carpenter 
Lyrics by Tim Hardin,
 modified by Laura Pimas 

From a gerbil in love to a gerbil lady.
 
If I were a carpenter
and you were my gerbil,
Would you share my food bowl?
Would you chew my paper roll ?
If a tinker were my trade
would you still find me,
followin' the seeds I stored,
digging beside me.
Save my love through loneliness,
Save my love for sorrow,
I'm given you my onliness,
Come give your tomorrow.
If I worked my teeth in wood,
Would you still love me?
Answer me gerbil, "Yes I would,
I'll put you above me."
If I were a miller
at a mill wheel grinding,
would you wheel around with me,
and dig in the corner?
If I were a carpenter
and you were a lady,
Would you chew on my cardboard roll?
Would you have my babies?
Would you lend me your wheel?
Would you have my babies?
