[Chorus]
Well, I'd rather switch than fight anytime
There's a little yellow streak runnin' up this back of mine
When it comes to who's a-gonna hold 'em tight
I'm a lover not a fighter
And I'd rather a-switch than fight

[Verse 1]
Well, I was out with a redhead last night
Her boyfriend caused a scene that was a sight
Then he bowled up at me and I took flight
There's a whole lot more pretty girls than one
And I rather switch than fight

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Now my first wife was a lovely sight to view
But fuss and fight was all she cared to do
When she reached forty-four
Well, I shoved her out the door
And I got me a couple that were twenty-two

[Chorus]
