Why does the gay little dicky bird sing? What put the "zing" in a butterfly's wing? What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour? Why does a breeze have a barrel of fun? Even the bee who's a son-of-a-gun, It's all because they're free And stringless, the same as me
I've got no strings to hold me down To make me fret Or make me frown
I had strings but now I'm free There are no strings on me
Hi-o the merri-o I'm as happy as can be I want the world to know Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings so I have fun I'm not tied up to anyone How I love my liberty There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so I have fun I'm not tied up to anyone How I love my liberty There are no strings on me
