If I Had My Druthers — текст песни (Bobby Darin)

Johnny:
If I had my druthers
I`d druther have my druthers
Then anything else I know.
While you`d druther hustle
Accumulatin` muscle
I`d druther watch daisies grow.
While they`re growin` slow an`
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 philosophy?

Bobby:
Agree? I live it!

If I had my druthers
I`d druther have my druthers
Then work any whereas at all.

Johnny:
Don`t nobody call.

Bobby:
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
Then anything else at all.

Johnny:
If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I`d druther be like I am.

Bobby:
I like you just the way you are.

This thing called employment
Detracts from my enjoyment
And tightens my diaphragm.

Johnny:
Oh, you poor lamb!

Whilst I`m doin` nary
A thing that`s necessary
I`m happy as a cherrystone clam.

Bobby:
Some of my best friends are clams!

If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I`d rather be like I am.

Both:
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.

Bobby:
Monsieur John?

Johnny:
As direct descendants …

Bobby:
We figure independence …

Both:
Ain`t only in Missouri and so.
If we had our druthers
We`d rather have our druthers
Than anything else we know.

Johnny:
Why sho` …

Both:
Than anything else we know …

Bobby:
Yebo` …

Both:
Then anythin else we know …
Enco` …
Than anything else we know.

Bobby:
Goodnight.

Johnny:
Leave a call.
