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 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 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 It's all because they're free And string-less the same as me I've got no strings and I'm so glad No strings at all to make me sad I had strings but now I'm free There are no strings on me Oh, hi-ho, the way we go 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! No ties to bind me, it's not easy to find me 'cause I've got no strings on me!
