Life Would Be Wonderful Lyrics
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
If I was a little taller
If I was not quite so old
If my raincoat had a collar
To help me keep away the cold
If my little mouse named Norman
Was still alive inside the sock
He used to keep himself so cozy
Inside his little cardboard box
If I had a nice location
To sit where people passing by
Looked like they were on vacation
And helped me buy some pecan pie
If I could afford a breakfast
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg
If there was an open doorway
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time
Life would be wonderful
Life would be wonderful
If I was not quite so old
If my raincoat had a collar
To help me keep away the cold
Was still alive inside the sock
He used to keep himself so cozy
Inside his little cardboard box
To sit where people passing by
Looked like they were on vacation
And helped me buy some pecan pie
Of bacon, toast and scrambled eggs
If I hadn't been so reckless
When I lost my other leg
Where I could be warm and dry
And visit with some memories
I made once upon a time

This song seems to be about a homeless person who wishes that they had little things that we all take for granted such as a raincoat with a collar and breakfast. They imagine how wonderful life would be with these things.
This song is about a homeless person and just the little things he wished for would make his life perfect. It is a sad song :(
The title is actually Mr. Wonderful.
The song title depends on what version of the album you purchased, the name was changed, so one is certainly more correct than the other, but they are both right.
