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.
