Lyrics
Oh, if I had a jelly man
Expressing a desire for a partner represented as a "jelly man."
With beauty sweet and bright
Describing the desired qualities of the "jelly man" as beautiful and bright.
He'd dance with me when the music played
Imagining dancing with the "jelly man" when music plays, symbolizing joy and connection.
He'd fill me with delight
Anticipating delight and happiness from being with the "jelly man."
But when the rain came thundering down
Describing a challenging situation (rain) that the "jelly man" cannot endure.
He couldn't stand it, he'd melt to the ground,
Explaining that the "jelly man" would melt to the ground in response to the rain.
So, jelly man... I'll see you around
Concluding that the relationship with the "jelly man" may not endure difficulties.
Oh, if I had a rubber man
Expressing a desire for a partner represented as a "rubber man."
He'd bounce back every time
Attributing resilience to the "rubber man," bouncing back from challenges.
Through fire and flood and tempest wild
Highlighting the enduring spirit of the "rubber man" in adverse conditions.
His spirit bright would shine
Emphasizing the brightness of the "rubber man's" spirit.
But when I pressed my cheek to his rubbery cheek
Describing a physical interaction with the "rubber man" and its cold, clammy nature.
It would be cold and clammy, with a rubbery reek
Expressing a negative aspect of the "rubber man," indicating a lack of warmth.
So, rubber man... you're not the one I'll seek
Deciding that the "rubber man" is not the desired partner due to his shortcomings.
Oh, if I had a fiery man
Expressing a desire for a partner represented as a "fiery man."
With a smouldering, sultry grin
Describing the "fiery man" with a smoldering and sultry grin, indicating passion.
He'd give me scorching kisses
Imagining intense physical affection from the "fiery man."
His fingers would sear my skin
Depicting the touch of the "fiery man" as searing and intense.
But I'd never feel the cold wind on my face
Acknowledging a potential downside of being with the "fiery man," avoiding cold experiences.
Or enjoy an ice cream in his embrace,
Highlighting the sacrifice of certain experiences for the intense warmth of the "fiery man."
So fiery man... You're not the one I'll chase
Deciding against pursuing a relationship with the "fiery man" due to the sacrifices.
Then I found you
Announcing the discovery of a different, preferred partner.
Stronger than them all

Sweet and bright and full of life

Filled with passion, you know I wanna spend my life with you

Cause I don't need any other man
