Hap Palmer What Could a Bean Bag Be? lyrics

What could a bean bag be?
What could a bean bag be?
Imagination helps you see
What a bean bag could be

It's a hot potato you juggle hand to hand
Now it's a maraca, shake it, you're in a Latin band
Your bag's a soaring baseball; catch it if you can
Now it's a sizzling pancake; flip it in the pan

Your bag's a desert turtle crawling slowly cross the sand.
Now it's a bird perched in a tree so high above the land
Your bag's a falling pine cone that conks you with a thump

Now it's a cooling ice pack to sooth a swelling bump

Your bag's a friendly kitten hold it close and hear it purr
Feel it lick your face and arms as you gently stroke its fur
Your bag's a thousand pounds of sand
But you can lift it with one hand
Now it's a tiny pillow to help you fall asleep
And dream of the things that a bean bag could be
