I'd Rather Be With You

I'd Rather Be with You - Doris Day

If I could sit at a table with Grable

Ride in a car with Lamarr

If I could dance with a sweet

Chick like Garbo or Dietrich

I'd rather be with you

If I could just cuddle nearer to Shearer

Go on a tour with Lamour

If I could show off the muscle

To Rosalind Russell

I'd rather be with you

It won't be Adrian

Who put's you in clothes

You don't do Maxie

Factor to powder your nose

And Grauman's theatre doesn't

Have the prints of your toes

And without the help of

Zanuck you're a panic

If I could go to a parson with Garson

Do just as well with Blondell

If I could share a veranda

With Carmen Miranda

I'd rather be with you

If I could wear something lacy for Tracy

Let Ray Milland hold my hand

If I could sip a Bacardi with

Laurel and Hardy

I'd rather be with you

If I could go in a trailer with Taylor

Be all alone with Tyrone

If I could take all my chances

With Errol's romances

I'd rather be with you

You're not with RKO

But still you're OK

You'll never win an

Oscar for actin' some day

But you've got hair that's all

Your own and not a toupee

And you'll never need

A double if there's trouble

If I could stay in a stupor with Cooper

Possibly lure Vic Mature

If I could fly to Sumatra with

Frankie Sinatra

I'd rather be with you

If I could go to Havana with Lana

Or not have a care for Astaire

If I could roll out the barrel

With Madeleine Carroll

I'd rather be with you

If I could just go and wander with Fonda

Send me to stray Joel mccrea

And if I thought I was able

To get Mister Gable

I'd rather be with you

You've got the talent that

They never could scout

You don't need Technicolor

In case you're in doubt

For you are really at your

Best with all the lights out

And they may not give you

Billin' but you're drillin'

If I could do somethin' loony with Rooney

Get in a brawl with Jon Hall

If I could say what's disturbin'

To Deanna Durbin

I'd rather be with you

I'd rather be with you
