"If I Had My Druthers" lyrics

If I Had My Druthers

If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then anything else I know
While you'd druther hustle
Accumulating muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow

While they're growing slow and
The summer breeze is blowing
My heart is overflowing 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?
Agree? I live it

If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then work any whereas at all
Don't nobody call
It ain't that I hates it
Why, in fact, I even contemplates it
While watching raindrops fall

I sits there for hours
Developing my powers
Of figuring how flowers gets tall
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Then 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 doing nary
A thing that's necessary
I'm happy as a cherrystone clam
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

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 feeling 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
Than anything else we know
Yebo
Then anythin else we know
Enco
Than anything else we know
Goodnight
Leave a call
