i've got no strings

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
