If I Had My Druthers

If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know
While you'd druther hustle
Accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow.

While they're growin' slow
'N the summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' 'n so
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know.

If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than work any wheres at all
It ain't that I hates it
I often contemplates it
While watchin' the rain drops fall.

I sits there for hours
Developin' my powers
A figurin' how flowers gets tall
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else at all.

Dogpatch Guy 1 (spoken): Say Abner if you could be anyone else in the whole world who'd you druther be?
Abner: (spoken) Me
Guy1: (spoken) Jus' you?
Abner: (spoken) Jus' me
Dogpatch Guy2: (spoken) What's so special 'bout being you?
Abner: (spoken) Ain't nuthin' special about it it's just so handy that' all.

If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd druther be like I am
This thing called employment
Detracts from my enjoyment
And tightens my tie a fram
While I'm doing nary
A thing that's necessary
I'm happy as a cherry-stone clam.

If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others
I'd druther be like I am
Yes ma'am
I'd druther be like I am.
