Robin And The Giant: Music

I'd Love To Have A Lion

(Robin And The Giant)
Words and Music by Robin MacBlane and Larry Whitler
If I could have a lion as a pet
No one would mess with me, I bet
But you shouldn't own a lion
A lion must be free
But I'd love to have a lion be friends with me
Yes, I'd love to have a lion be friends with me

If I could have a whale as a pet
We'd swim together and we'd get each other wet
But a whale must live in water
And a girl must live on land
But I'd love to have a whale as a friend
Yes, I'd love to have a whale as a friend

Now, I'm not sayin' I don't like my dog and my cat
But a lion and a whale! Just imagine that!
And I'm not sayin' other folks ideas are not fine
But I'd rather live by mine
I'd rather live by mine---

If I could have an eagle in a cage
I'd fear he'd die but it would not be from old age
The beauty of an eagle
Should never be confined
But I'd love to have an eagle as a friend of mine
Yes, I'd love to have an eagle as a friend of mine

Now, I'm not sayin' I don't like my dog and my cat
But an eagle as a friend! Just imagine that!
And I'm not sayin' other folks ideas are not fine
But I'd rather live by mine
I'd rather live by mine---
