Hi-De-Ho Songtext
von Carole King

Hi dee ho, hi dee hi
I′m gonna get me a piece of the sky
I'm gonna find me some o′ that old sweet roll
Singin' hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, ho

I've been down so long
Bottom looked like up
Once I felt like second saves
Was enough to fill my cup

Now I′ve offered all I had
And that ain′t no way to live
Bein' taken by the ones
Who have the least amount to give

Singin′ hi dee ho, hi dee hi
I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
I′m gonna find me some o' that old sweet roll
Hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, ho


Once I met the devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with wordly goods
Said I could have my pick

But when he laid the paper on me
And showed me where to sign
I said "Thank you very kindly
But I′m in too great a need of mind"

Singin' hi dee ho, hi dee hi
Oh yeah, I'm gonna get me a piece of the sky
I′m gonna find me some o′ that old sweet roll
Singin' hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, hi dee ho, yeah
Hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, hi dee ho, yeah

(Hi dee, hi dee) hi dee hi
(Hi dee, hi dee) hi dee ho
(Hi dee, hi dee hi dee ho)
(Hi dee, hi dee) hi dee hi dee hi dee ho

(Hi dee, hi dee, hi dee ho) oh
(Hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, ho)
(Hi dee, hi dee) hi dee hi dee ho
(Hi dee, hi dee hi)
Hi dee, hi dee, hi dee, hi dee ho
