Lyrics

I would rather be a circus clown
Run away and travel all around
Kids all happy when I come to town
Wish I was a clown

I would rather learn to fly a plane
Riding high above the clouds and rain
Moving faster than a car or plane
Wish I flew a plane

I don’t wanna go to work
Work and I, we disagree
Punching in and punching out
Ain’t no kinda life for me
I would rather spend my days
In a million other ways
Even if I lose my shirt
I don’t wanna go to work

I would rather live up in the snow
Rubbing noses with the eskimos
Build an igloo just to warm my toes
Wish I lived in snow

I would rather be an oil sheikh
I could make a fortune in my sleep
I’d retire after just a week
Wish I was a sheikh
