[Intro]            [Verse 1] 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? [Bridge] 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    [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude]        [Bridge] 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     [Outro] And I’d learn to play the violin Yes I’d learn to play the violin And I’d learn to play the violin the violin Yes I’d learn to play the violin the violin
