Lyrics
(American folk song)
Refrain
Hey lidee, lidee, lidee,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo.
Hey lidee, lidee, lidee,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo.
1. This is a silly kind of song,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo.
You make it up as you go along,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo. Refrain
2. I have a girl, she’s ten feet tall,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo.
She sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo. Refrain
3. Everybody sing the chorus,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo.
Either you’re against us or you’re for us,
Hey lidee, lidee-lo. Refrain
