When We're Human

If I were a human being
 I'd head straight for New Orleans
 And I'd blow this horn so hot and strong
 Like no one they've ever seen
 You've heard of Louis Armstrong
 Mr. Sidney Bechet
 All those boys gonna step aside
 When they hear this old ex-gator play, listen
 ♪
 When I'm human
 As I hope to be
 I'm gonna blow this horn
 'Til the cows come home
 And everyone's gonna bow down to me
 Thank you, thank you
 Mwah, mwah, aw, thank you
 I love you too, baby
 When I'm myself again
 I want just the life I had
 A great big party every night
 That doesn't sound too bad
 A redhead on my left arm
 A brunette on my right
 A blonde or two to hold the candles
 Now that seems just about right
 Eh, Louis?
 Life is short
 When you're done, you're done
 We're on this earth
 To have some fun
 And that's the way things are
 When I'm human
 And I'm gonna be
 I'm gonna tear it up like I did before
 And that's the royal guarantee
 ♪
 Your modesty becomes you
 And your sense of responsibility
 I've worked hard for everything I've got
 And that's the way it's supposed to be
 When I'm a human being
 At least I'll act like one
 If you do your best each and every day
 Good things are sure to come your way
 What you give is what you get
 My daddy said that
 And I'll never forget
 And I'll recommend it to you
 When we're human
 And we're gonna be
 I'm gonna blow my horn
 I'm gonna live the high life
 I'm gonna do my best
 To take my place in the sun
 When we're human
