Wouldn't it be so nice to get
All of the stuff we've ever wanted
Wouldn't it be so nice to see
All of our assets flaunted
And wouldn't be so nice to witness
All of our enemies taunted
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts
Then we'd all have a merry Christmas
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts
Then we'd all have a merry Christmas
If dreams came true, then none are denied
Wouldn't it be so nice if we could
Wash all our sins away
Wouldn't it be so nice we could
Always have a sunny day
And wouldn't it be so nice if life were a cabaret
Hooray for you and hooray for me
One day I am certain we will all agree
Wouldn't be so nice to get just
A little pat on the back
Wouldn't it be so nice to try and take
A different sort of tack
And wouldn't it be so nice if I
Could so believe in all this yakkety-yak
