If I Had My Druthers

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
