Hi Ho - Heigh Ho - Whistle While You Work Lyrics
Hhh heigh ho
heigh ho
hhh heigh ho
heigh ho -
I said we ddd dig
ddd dig
in a mine the whole day through -
'Cause to ddd dig
ddd dig
is what we like to do.
It ain't no trick
you can get rich quick
If you dig dig dig
with a shovel or a pick -
Iii in a mm mme
iii in a mm mine -
(where thousand diamonds shine).
I said we ddd dig
ddd dig
from early morning till night.
We ddd dig
ddd dig
of everything inside.
We dd dig up the diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies
sometimes more.
But we don't know what we dig them for - dig dig dig dig dig!
Just whistle while you work - whistle ww whistle -
Put on that grin and start right in to whistle loud and long.
Just hum a rnerry tune - hum hhh hum -
Just do your best then take arest and sing yourself a song:
Hhh heigh ho
hhh heigh ho
hhh heigh ho
heigh ho
heigh ho -
Heigh ho
heigh ho - to make your troubles go -
Just keep on singing all day long - heigh ho
heigh ho.
Heigh ho
heigh ho
heigh ho - for if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong with heigh
heigh ho.
Heigh ho
heigh ho
heigh ho
heigh -
Heigh ho
heigh ho
heigh ho
ho!
Heigh ho
heigh ho - to make your troubles go - . . .
Heigh ho
heigh ho - to make your troubles go - . . .
Heigh - ho - heigh - ho - heigh - ho - heigh - ho - heigh!
I said we ddd dig
ddd dig
in a mine the whole day through - .. .
Heigh ho
heigh ho - to make your troubles go - . . .
We dig up the diamonds by the score
But we don't know what we dig them for -
Heigh ho
heigh ho
it's home
from work we go --
Heigh ho
heigh ho - heigh ho
heigh ho
Heigh ho
it's home
from work we go -
Heigh ho
