| Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
|
| Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
|
| Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
|
| Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho.
|
| I been down so low bottom looked like up
|
| Once I thought that second saves was enough to fill my cup
|
| Now I offered all I had, but it ain’t no way to live
|
| Bein' taken by the ones who got the least amount to give
|
| Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
|
| Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
|
| Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
|
| Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho.
|
| Once I met the devil and he was mighty slick,
|
| Tempted me with worldly goods and said «You can have your pick.»
|
| But when he laid that paper on me and showed me where to sign,
|
| I said, «Thank you very kindly, but I’m in too great a need of mine.»
|
| Hi-de-ho, Hi-de-hi
|
| Gonna get me a piece of the sky,
|
| Gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll,
|
| Singin' Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho. |
