Bobby Darin - If I Had My Druthers - Текст песни

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.
