I'd r ather go to a r odeo then sh oppin' on Ro deo Dr ive
I 'd rather lay on the g rass with y ou and watch the p lanes than to have to f ly
I'd r ather have you than Ringling and Barnum & Baily Circus with all three rings
And the h igh trapeez and the lady on the horse and the train that carries them thru
S tacked up against all the gold in Africa I 'd rather have y ou
I 'd rather share a hotd og with y ou than dinner with the P resid ent
Offer me a castle on a m ountain t op I'll take y ou in a t ent
I 'd rather be alone with you than to have my very own satellite
To t alk and sing and say everything to everybody do whatever I wanna do
And to b e number one on Who Is Who I 'd rather have y ou
I don't crave applause and praise or h olidays with my way paid
I don't want to incorporate nor to b e top rate nor a head of state
I don't want to play the digery-do nor the s itar or the kazoo
Just the two of us a lone will d o I' d rather have yo u
I'd r ather have tickets to the m ovies with y ou than the one that wins the l otte ry
Rather walk on the b each with y ou than to own all the s hips at s ea
I'd r ather have you than the QE2 and the Eiffel Tower the Royal Jewels
And the Brooklyn Bridge and the toll pay to go thru
And t hrow in a Texas well or two I 'd rather have y ou
I don't crave applause and praise or h olidays with my way paid
I don't want to incorporate nor to b e top rate nor a head of state
I don't want to play the digery-do nor the s itar or the kazoo
Just the two of us a lone will d o I' d rather have yo u
