If I Learned to Play the Violin

Lyrics for If I Learned to Play the Violin

by Joey Levine & Artie Resnick If I learned to play the violin And I traded my old guitar in, Would your parents still object, Or would I win their respect If I learned to play the violin? I would even go and cut my hair Though my friends would point and say I'm square, Girl, would your society Still look down their nose at me If I learned to play the violin? I'd give up my beat-ways, Take up more discreet ways, All you've got to do is ask me to, Whoa-oa, just ask me to And I'd learn to play the violin, Turn my back on everything I've been, I'd be like somebody new, But, not change my love for you If I learned to play the violin. SOLO I'd give up my beat-ways, Take up more discreet ways, All you've got to do is ask me to, Whoa-oa, just ask me to. And I'd learn to play the violin, Yes, I'd learn to play the violin, And I'd learn to play the violin, Yes, I'd learn to play the violin. fade out...
