Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee Lyrics
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee. An actor’s life for me!
A high silk hat, and a silver cane
A watch of gold, with a diamond chain
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Day an actor’s life is gay!
It’s great to be a celebrity
An actor’s life for me!
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee, an actor’s life for me!
A waxed moustache and a beaver coat
A pony cart and a billy goat
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dum, an actor’s life is fun!
You wear your hair in a pompadour!
You ride around in a coach with four!
You stop and buy out a candy store!
An actor’s life for me!
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee. An actor’s life for me!
With clothes that come from the finest shop
And lots of peanuts and soda pop…
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee. An actor’s life for me!
A high silk hat, and a silver cane
A watch of gold, with a diamond chain
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Day an actor’s life is gay!
It’s great to be a celebrity, an actor’s life for me!
Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (Reprise) Lyrics
Hi-diddle-dee-dee, it’s Pleasure Isle for me
Where ev’ry day is a holiday, and kids have nothing to do but play
Hi-diddle-dee-doo, if what I hear is true
At noon each day, there’s a big parade
The river’s flowing with lemonade
A land of pudding and marmalade
It’s Pleasure Isle for me!
