If I Learned To Play The Violin Lyrics - Monkees

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.
