Who I'd Be (Charlie Jr.'s version)

Charlie Barkin Jr.:

I guess I'd be a hero
With sword and armor clashing
Looking semi dashing
A shield within my grip

Or else I'd be a viking
And live a life of daring
While smelling like a herring
Upon a viking ship

I'd sail away, I'd see the world
I'd reach the farthest reaches
I'd feel the wind, I'd taste the salt and sea
And maybe storm, some beaches
That's who I'd be, that's who I'd be

Or I could be a poet
And write a different story
One that tells of glory
And wipes away the lies

And to the skies I'd throw it
The stars would do the telling
The moon would help with spelling
And night would dot the 'I's

I'd write my verse, recite a joke
It'd fit in perfect timing
I'd share my heart, confess the things I yearn
And do it all while rhyming
But we all learn, but we all learn

A street dog always hides
A street dog's fate is known
And street dogs always stays
In the dark and all alone

So yes, I'd be a hero
And if my wish were granted
Life would be enchanted
Or so the stories say

Of course I'd be a hero
And I would scale a tower
And save a hung-house flower
And carry her away

But standing guard there'd be a mutt
I'd somehow overwhelm it
I'd get the collie, I'd take my breath
And I'd remove my helmet

We'd stand and stare, we'd speak of love
We'd feel the stars ascending
We'd share a kiss, I'd find my destiny

I'd have a hero's ending
A perfect happy ending
That's how it would be
A big bright beautiful world
But not for me

A street dog always hides
A street dog's fate is known



Charlie Jr. and July together:

And street dogs always stays
In the dark,



Bentley Itchiford:

you're all alone,



Charlie Jr. and July together:

all alone



July:

And I know he'll appear
'Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe a storybooks I read
By candlelight



Charlie Barkin Jr.:

So yes, I'd be a hero and if my wish were granted
Life would be enchanted or so the stories say

Of course I'd be a hero and I would scale a tower
And save a hot-house flower and carry her away



Bentley Itchiford:

All Alone
You need a pal
My Calender's open
You need me



Charlie Jr., July and Bentley together:

A perfect happy ending
That's how it should be
