Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday
Lyrics:
[English]
Digge, ding-ding-ding, digge-digge, ding-ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Digge, ding-ding-ding, digge-digge, ding-ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Digge, ding-ding-ding, digge-digge, ding-ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Digge, ding-ding-ding, digge-digge, ding-ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
There's a place I know where we should go (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Won't you take me there, your lady fair? (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
There's a brook near-by the grass grows high (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Where we both can hide, side by side (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun for everyone, holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
Sing a summer song, skip along, holi-holiday
It's a holi-holiday
...
There's a country fair not far from there (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
...
On a carousel, the ding-dong bell (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
On the loop-di-loop, we swing and swoop (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
And what else we'll do, is up to you (Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun for everyone, holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
Sing a summer song, skip along, holi-holiday
It's a holi-holiday
...
Well, I'm game
...
Fun is the thing I'm after
Now, let's a-live it up today
Get set for love and laughter
Well, let's go
Time isn't here for wasting
Life is so full of sweet, sweet things
I'd like to do some tasting
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun for everyone, holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
Sing a summer song, skip along, holi-holiday
It's a holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray! It's a holi-holiday
...
Sing a summer song, skip along, holi-holiday
...
It's a holi-holiday, it's a holi-holiday
...
