If

Percy Venable, Stanley Damerell

If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you (scat)

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd plea to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

(Trumpet)

If I ruled the earth what will life be worth
If I hadn't the right (scat) to you
