I'D RATHER BE ME
(Felix Bernard / Eddie Cherkose / Sam Coslow)

Recorded by: Ambrose; Frankie Carle & his Orch.;
Bing Crosby; Lou Praeger; Harry Roy & his Band.


I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
For anyone else would never have you to love
I’m awfully glad to be just plain little me
No hero supreme, just someone you’re dreaming of

If I were Sinatra,
Or someone like Bing,
And you weren’t beside me
What would it mean, not a thing

I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
Somehow I find it more fun
Just being the one you love.

(Orchestral Break)

Oh yes indeed, yes indeed.
I’d rather be me with you than anyone else
Somehow I find it more fun
Just being the one you love.
