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 I've got no strings so I have fun And I'm not tied to anyone How I love my liberty There are no strings on me Hi-ho the me-ri-o I'm as happy as can be And I want the world to know Nothing ever worries 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 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 the breeze have a barrel of fun? Even the bee who's a son of a gun 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 I'm as happy as can be Nothing ever worries me I've got no strings so I have fun And I'm not tied to anyone How I love my liberty There are no strings on me There ain't no strings on me There are no strings on me
