WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE ?
Carroll Gibbons & Harry Bentley - 1934 


I haven’t got a penny
You’re just as broke as me
I’m not so very busy
And you’re absolutely free
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?

You’re very fond of walking
I haven’t any car
The church around the corner, dear
Is not so very far
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?

Hi-diddle-diddle, that’s a song
That we can sing the whole day long
Hi-ho, if any thing goes wrong
We’ll sing our worries away

And somewhere in the country
We’ll find a little nest
We’ll pay a porter’s rent
And they can sue us for the rest
Hi-ho, lackaday
What have we got to lose?
