[Verse]
I'd Arather go to a DrodAeo then Ashoppin' on ERodeo ADrive
AI'd rather lay on the Dgrass with Ayou and watch the Eplanes than to have to Afly
I'd Drather have you than Ringling and Barnum & Baily Circus with all three rings
And the Dhigh trapeez and the lady on the horse and the train that carries them thru
AStacked up against all the gold in Africa, EI'd rather have Ayou
AI'd rather share a hotDdog with Ayou than dinner with the EPresiAdent
Offer me a castle on a Dmountain Atop, I'll take Eyou in a Atent
DI'd rather be alone with you than to have my very own satellite
To Dtalk and sing and say everything to everybody, do whatever I wanna do
And to Abe number one on Who Is Who, EI'd rather have Ayou
[Chorus]
DI don't crave applause and praise or Aholidays with my way paid
DI don't want to incorporate nor to Abe top rate nor a head of state
DI don't want to play the digery-do nor the Asitar or the kazoo
Just the two of us Dalone will Ado, EI'd rather have Ayou
[Verse]
I'd Arather have tickets to the Dmovies with Ayou than the one that wins the ElottAery
Rather walk on the Dbeach with Ayou than to own all the Eships at Asea
I'd Drather have you than the QE2 and the Eiffel Tower, the Royal Jewels
And the Brooklyn Bridge, and the toll pay to go thru
And Athrow in a Texas well or two, EI'd rather have Ayou
[Chorus]
DI don't crave applause and praise or Aholidays with my way paid
DI don't want to incorporate nor to Abe top rate nor a head of state
DI don't want to play the digery-do nor the Asitar or the kazoo
Just the two of us Dalone will Ado, EI'd rather have Ayou
[Outro]
