The World Owes Me A Living |
Oh the world owes me a living |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum |
Oh the world owes me a living |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum |
If I worked hard all day I might |
Sleep badder when in bed at night |
I sleep all day so that’s alright |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum |
There once was an old grasshopper |
Who could only think of fun |
He looked on work as something too |
Unpleasant to be done |
He loved to sit in the summer sun |
And fiddle all day long |
While dozing there he played this air |
And singed this little song |
The north wind blew the leaves away |
When winter came one stormy day |
The snow fell fast upon the ground |
No food nor shelter could be found |
This old grasshopper sad and weak |
Could hardly hop or view his feet |
He slipped, He fell |
Poor Chap, Farewell |
Some ants stayed in their hilly home |
Looked out and saw him sneezing |
They soaked his feet in mustard sauce |
He grew better soon |
Now every day they hear him play |
And sing this little tune |
Oh I owe the world a living |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo! |
Oh I owe the world a living |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo! |
I got a bad cold in my head |
You ants were right the time you said |
You’ve got to work for all you get |
Deedle dardle doodle deedle dum, ah-choo |
