I've Got No Strings

(Ned Washington/Leigh Harline)



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
