Pieces of String

I'll have you know
Oh! I'll have you know
That if I had one, I'd play this on piano
And if I had one of those, I'd sit it on my knee
And count to 1, 2, 3
If I had one of those other things,
I'd put it in my mouth
If I had some of those other things,
I'd put them into jars on the shelf

But, I'll have you know
Oh! I'll have you know
That if I had, say, 10 or 20
I'd have a choir of little children sing along
I'd have a choir of little children sing along

But, I'll have you know
Oh! I'll have you know
That if she had one, she'd put it in a paper bag If she had one, she'd put it in a paper bag
