If I Had My Druthers Lyrics - Bobby Darin

If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers 

Than anything else I know 

While you'd druther hustle, accumulatin' muscle 

I'd druther watch daisies grow 

While they're growin' slow 

And the summer breeze is blowin' 

My heart is overflowin' and so 

If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers 

Than anything else I know 

Robert, you think you could agree 

With that kind of a philosophy? 

Agree? I live it 

If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers 

Than work anywheres at all 

Don't nobody call 

Huh, it ain't that I hates it 

Why, in fact, I even contemplates it 

While watchin' raindrops fall 

I sits there for hours developin' my powers 

Of figurin' how flowers gets tall 

If I had my druthers, I'd druther have my druthers 

Than anything else at all 

If I had my druthers to choose from all the others 

I'd druther be like I am 

I like you just the way you are 

This thing called employment 

Detracts from my enjoyment 

And tightens my diaphragm 

Oh, you poor lamb 

Whilst I'm doin' nary 

A thing that's necessary 

I'm happy as a cherry stone clam 

Some of my best friends are clams 

If I had my druthers to choose from all the others 

I'd druther be like I am 

If we had our druthers, we'd rather have our druthers 

Than anything else we know 

Our forefathers wrote it and often times we quote it 

Whenever we're feelin' low 

Monsieur John? 

As direct descendants we figure independence 

Ain't only in Missouri and so if we had our druthers 

We'd rather have our druthers than anything else we know 

Why sho', huh 

Than anything else we know 

Yebo', than anything else we know 

Enco', than anything else we know 

Goodnight, leave a call
