I've Got No Strings

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 a breeze have a barrel of fun?

Even the bee who's a son-of-a-gun,

It's 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

Hi-o the merri-o

I'm as happy as can be

I want the world to know

Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings so I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

How I love my liberty

There are no strings on me

I've got no strings so I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

How I love my liberty

There are no strings on me
