Hi Ho

[*bongo drums*]

Goodbye to the house I grew up in

The shutters are browned

And the doors painted green

The white picket fence has fallen down…

The cat won’t leave

He’s fallen asleep

Under that old, olive tree

Hi Ho, hi ho… hi ho, hi ho

Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho,

Where oh where did the time go?

The pool is cool

And the weather is bright

The flowers are pretty

Everything is giddy

Except for that dead raccoon in my sight…

Fond memories

Tainted by

A couple loose ends

From the tears we cried

But mama, I won’t forget thee no

The moonlight will shine

Where ever we go

Tears will be done

Laughter we’ll do

The important thing

Were the moments with you

Hi ho, Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho,

Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho

Where oh where did the time go?

It’s a working world

And the dollars we spend

Is the way we grow

Inside our heads…

Hi ho, hi ho, hi ho…. hi ho…. hi ho…. hi ho, hi ho,

The time is now, and it’s ready to go…

[*fade away* hi ho’s…]
