Idabelle Smith Firestone (10 November 1874 – 7 July 1954) was an American composer and songwriter.
Privilege
An accomplished songwriter, she composed "If I Could Tell You" as the opening theme for the radio, and later television, music program The Voice of Firestone. The show was sponsored by her husband's company, Firestone Tires. An earlier song by Idabelle Firestone, "In My Garden", was used as the program's closing theme. – Wikipedia, s.v. “If I Could Tell You”
“If I Could Tell You” was a song
That Idabelle Smith Firestone wrote,
And while there’s really nothing wrong
That she was able to promote
Her personal composing dreams,
Not everyone with such desires
Has millions hear their cloying themes
As funded by their husband's tires.
