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 stringless 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!
