If I only had a match, then my
cares I'd soon forget.
All I need would be a match if I
had a cigarette.
If I had a cigarette, I could
watch the smoke rings curl.
But I'd really be all set, if I
only had a girl.
If I had someone like you, to
hurry to each night,
In a cozy bungalow, we'd know
such sweet delight.
We could raise a family, and a
little garden patch,
And to think this all could be,
if I only had a match.
