You’re very fond of walking I haven’t any car The church around the corner, dear Is not so very far Hi-ho-lack-a-day What have we got to lose? Hi-diddle-diddle, that’s a song That we can sing the whole day long Hi-ho, if anything 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-lack-a-day What have we got to lose?
