if i had my druthers iĄŻd go fishinĄŻ
find myself a lake and a lazy day
if i had my druthers iĄŻd quit wishinĄŻ
get off the old caboose get on my way

give me, whole lots of laughter
great big barrels of fun
nighttime full of romance
daytime full of fun

if i had my druthers iĄŻd go flyinĄŻ -ooh
lookinĄŻ for the things iĄŻd like to see - yeh
if i had my druthers iĄŻd be tryinĄŻ tryinĄŻ
the only way to be what i canĄŻt be

give me somebody to love me
make me feel like the only one
something thatĄŻs worth doing more
i feel good when itĄŻs worked yeh yeh

if i had my druthers iĄŻd go sailing - yes i would
catch me campinĄŻ ou on the open sea
if i had my druthers iĄŻd be singinĄŻ
just how good this good life feels to me - feels so good

it just needs someone to talk to
something you canĄŻt share
you donĄŻt need no reason for livinĄŻ long
itĄŻs already there - yes it is - ooh ooh

it makes me giggle
i canĄŻt sit down
