Bobby Darin - If I Had My Druthers lyrics

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.
