How’d you like to do that?
Be an acrobat. Be an acrobat?
Sure, an acrobat!
Balance on the wire like some kind of flyer,
Flippin’, vaultin’, somersaultin’ higher and higher
And never lose your hat.
How’d you like to do that?

How’d you like to do that?
Be a lion tamer. Be a lion tamer?
Sure, a lion tamer!
That’d be pretty neat, tigers at your feet,
Thinking you’re the boss
And not just something good to eat.
Just a cage of pussycats.
How’d you like to do that?
It’s a wide wide world with so much to be done.
Big big jobs,
Go ahead and pick one…
Go ahead and pick one…

How’d you like to do that?
Be a cowgirl. Me a cowgirl? Sure, a cowgirl!
Sitting in your saddle. Herding all the cattle.
“Get along little dogies, hurry up, skedaddle!”
In a big old cowgirl hat.
How’d you like to do that?
It’s a wide wide world with so much to be done.
Big big jobs,
Go ahead and pick one…
Go ahead and pick one…
Go ahead and pick one!

How’d you like to do that?
Be an astronaut. Me, an astronaut?
Sure, an astronaut!
A rocket riding ace, out in outer space,
Racing through the universe
A helmet on your face,
’Cause the moon is where it’s at.
How’d you like to do that?
How’d you like to do that?

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Around The World And Back Again CD.
