I think their version is classic, although I love Bob's yodel in the original.

[ET Awful]

6. No, and I ain’t lookin’ to fight with you,

Frighten you or tighten you,
Drag you down or drain you down,
Chain you down or bring you down.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

[ET Awful]

9. I ain't lookin' to block you up

Shock or knock or lock you up,
Analyze you, categorize you,
Finalize you or advertise you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

[GingerSnaps]

11. I don’t want to straight-face you,

Race or chase you, track or trace you,
Or disgrace you or displace you,
Or define you or confine you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

[ET Awful]

12. I don't want to meet your kin,

Make you spin or do you in,
Or select you or dissect you,
Or inspect you or reject you.
All I really want to do
Is, baby, be friends with you.

13. The band I have just played that tune.....................

last night. We have been doing a lot of Byrds lately since two of us have rickenbacker 12 strings. It's also a lot of fun working out the harmonies and I can tell you that the chorus in that tune is tough.

[Old and In the Way]

14. Cool, I admire your capabilities to be able to pull that off!

It's fantastic that you are exposing a new generation to one of the truly great musical groups of our generaion.

Another great Byrd's tune that I'm enjoying these days: Goin' Back
