[Pinocchio:]
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
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
That's the only
way to go
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me
(One sheet music version prints the bridge as this stanza: )
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
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've
got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me
[Dutch puppet:]
You have no strings
Your arms is
free
To love me by the Zuider Zee
Ya, ya, ya
If you
would woo
I'd bust my strings for you
[French puppet:]
You've got no strings
Comme ci
comme ca
Your savoire-faire is ooh la la!
I've got strings
But entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you
[Russian puppet:]
Down where the Volga flows
There's a Russian rendezvous
Where me and Ivan go
But
I'd rather go with you, hey!
