The World Owes Me a Living (From "Now and Forever") |
| 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 |
