I'd rather have a bottle in front of me
  I'd rather watch 10 hours of T.V.
  But since I can't I'll think of food
  I'll think of sex
  I'll think of music
  And I'll think of you
    I'd rather have a cold one by the sea
  I'd rather have you sitting on top o'me
  But since I'm here and you're so far away
  I'll read about Zaphod Beeblebrox
  As I pass the day, hey
    I'd rather not spend my whole night driving
  I'd rather not be on so much caffeine
  But since you're in bed and I'm sleeping
  on some floor
  I'll think of you and I'll wish that I was home
