Hi-De-Ho

Words & Music:

Gerry Goffin & Carole King

 

CHORUS:

Hi-De-Ho, Hi-De-Hi.

Gonna Get me a piece of the sky.

Gonna get me some of that Old Sweet Roll.

Singin' Hi-De-Hi-De-Hi-De-Hi-De- Hooooo.

 

I've been down so low, bottom looked like up

Once I thought that second saves was enough to fill my cup

So, I proffered all I got; but it ain't no way to live.

Being taken by the ones who got the least amount to give

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL:

 

Once I met the devil, he was mighty slick.

Tempted me with worldly goods & said, "You can have your pick."

But when he laid that paper on me

And he showed me where to sign,

I said, "Thank you very kindly,

But I'm in too great a need of mind."

 

CHORUS:  [2x and out]
