IF I HAD A NEEDLE AND THREAD
(Eve Jay)

Anita Carter - 1957
Shirley Bassey - 1957


If I had a needle and thread
Tell you what I'd do
If I had a needle and thread
I'd sew myself to you
That's what I'd do
I'm tellin' you

And if I had some jelly and jam
Tell you what I'd do
If I had some jelly and jam
I'd still be sweet on you
That's what I'd do
I'm tellin' you

But I got no jelly, got no jam
I got no needle and thread
I don't mind the way I am
Long as I have you instead

If I had a dog and a cat
Tell you what I'd do
If I had a dog and a cat
I would still pet you
That's what I'd do
I'm tellin' you

(Instrumental Break)

Well, I got no jelly, got no jam
I got no needle and thread
I don't mind the way I am
Long as I have you instead

And if I had a needle and thread
Tell you what I'd do
If I had a needle and thread
I'd sew myself to you
That's what I'd do
I'm tellin' you
My whole life through
I'm tellin' you
I'm tellin' you
