Hi said the brown and lonely worm
Watch me wiggle and watch me squirm
Hold me gentle so I don't get hurt
Then put me back in the thick black dirt
Hi said the spider trappin' a fly
I'll tell you the reason why
The reason I don't eat this fly
Is this particular fly is a friend of mine
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Did-de-hi-hi-diddle-de-ho
Hi said the brand new baby snake
Living on bugs and chocolate cake
Wouldn't you rather eat a frog
And sleep with your mommy in a hollow log?
Hi said the fishy jumpin' in a lake
I've been good for goodness sake
Don't catch me with your line and hook
And put me in your nursery book
Caw said the crow sittin' on a cliff
Caw, caw, caw, I wonder if
Caw, caw, will it ever end?
Caw, caw, not today my friend
Hi said the skeleton, rattle his bones
I got lost and I got no home
Give me a blanket and get me fed
And let me live underneath your bed
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Did-de-hi-hi-diddle-de-ho
Hi said the rock sittin' by the fire
I can't move 'cause I'm so tired
Warm your cold hands 'til they glow
I would not move even if I could go
Hi said the tree with its roots so deep
I've got a secret I can't keep
It can't be sold because it's free
I told it to all the birds on me
Hi said the mountain all shadowy blue
I'll reach down and shelter you
When I get mad then you must go
I'll turn into a volcano
And say hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Did-de-hi-hi-diddle-de-ho
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Hi-de-hi diddle-diddle o-day
Did-de-hi-hi-diddle-de-ho
