if i had my druthers i¡¯d go fishin¡¯
find myself a lake and a lazy day
if i had my druthers i¡¯d quit wishin¡¯
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 i¡¯d go flyin¡¯ -ooh
lookin¡¯ for the things i¡¯d like to see - yeh
if i had my druthers i¡¯d be tryin¡¯ tryin¡¯
the only way to be what i can¡¯t be

give me somebody to love me
make me feel like the only one
something that¡¯s worth doing more
i feel good when it¡¯s worked yeh yeh

if i had my druthers i¡¯d go sailing - yes i would
catch me campin¡¯ ou on the open sea
if i had my druthers i¡¯d be singin¡¯
just how good this good life feels to me - feels so good

it just needs someone to talk to
something you can¡¯t share
you don¡¯t need no reason for livin¡¯ long
it¡¯s already there - yes it is - ooh ooh

it makes me giggle
i can¡¯t sit down
