(Raleigh / Barkan)
Information:
Elvis sang How Would You Like To Be in his 1963 film It
Happened at the World’s Fair. The song was recorded in September 1962 at
Radio Recorders in Hollywood. Originally, the producers of the 1968 TV
Special Elvis planned to use How Would You Like To Be in a medley of
movie songs, but the idea was scrapped. Ben Raleigh and Mark Barkan composed
the song. The 1966 single release of How Would You Like To Be did not chart.
Lyrics:
How would you like to be,
A little circus clown
And you could wear a smile instead of a frown
How would you like to be, a little kangaroo
A-hoppin' up and down and I could hop with you
Come on and smile a little smile, a little hop, a little hop
A little smile, a little hop, a little bit with me
Smile a little smile, a little
hop, a little hop
A little smile, a little hop, a little bit with me
Oh ho, ha ha, a-tra la la la la la la
A-ha, tra la la la la la la
How would you like to be, a little buzzing bee
And instead of a tree you could buzz around me
How would you like to be, a little mocking bird
And you can sing me songs like I never heard
Come on and buzz a little buzz, a little sing, a little sing
A little buzz, a little sing, a little bit with me
Buzz, buzz, buzz a little do re mi
A little buzz, a little sing, a little bit with me
Oh-ho ah-ha, tra la la la la la la
Oh-ho, a-ha, a-tra la la la la la la
How would you like to be, a little baby bear
And you could hug me tight anytime you'd care
How would you like to be, a little dancing doll
And you could dance with me every time I'd call
Oh-ho, tra la la la la la la
Oh-ho... ah-ah... tra la la
la... la... la... la
