if music was a lady - jack cookson (folk) lyrics

(so, this is a song about the idea of, um, personifying music as a woman and what a small, narrow-minded, man might have to say about that. and he said:)

that she would, indeed, be a hideous sight to see
with a loud paisley dress of pale yellow
long fingernails that would scr-pe on blackboards
with her hair tied in such a strange way
that was neither up nor down
and her voice would sound a thousand screams
from a thousand people’s tone-deaf dreams
(and) when you looked into her eyes you could never quite see
what mood or colour they were meant to be
all in all, his mouth it did sprawl
if music was a lady she’d be a hideous sight to see

so, i said: no small-minded man
with intelligence as thick as a tree
if music was a lady she’d be a beautiful sight indeed
much like chameleon-lizard or
those mood rings you’d get as a child
her eyes would alter colour for whatever the occasion called
with a dress that forever waved
with the changing winds of this world
and the changing song her ?
the song, her mouth it would sing
she would be beautiful though chaotic
a harmonic sight to behold
a sight for sore eyes with a voice for broken ears
and fingers with a touch that could calm the stormiest minds
bringing floods of tears to the heaviest of eyes
it would leave their owners forever asking why
and how could such a sound do such a thing to me?

(harmonica interlude)

all in all, confusing it may be
if music was a lady she’d be a beautiful sight indeed
if music was a lady she’d be a beautiful sight indeed
