Em        Am          Em

(Em / Am / Em)
Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so
Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so

She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels

Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so
Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so

(Come built your home for me, daddy)

He gave his townhouse and racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so
Hidee-hi hidee-ho
Told you before that I love you soooo

(The witness Hidey...Hidey-ho)

Hodey-hodey-hoo! (Hodey-hodey-hoo!)
Heydee-heydee-hey! (Heydee-heydee-hey!)
Hidey-hidey-hi! (Hidey-hidey-hi!)

WhoooaaaaaAh! (WhoooaaaaaAh!)
Yeah yeah yeah! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Hii-hii-hii! (Hii-hii-hii!)
Hidey-hidey-hi! (Hidey-hidey-hi!)

(With the latest update now let's go live
We have turned to witnesses who have asked to remain anonymous
But they tell us she was the 'roughest, toughest frail'
but they also say the minnie had a heart as big as, now get this, as big as a whale)

(well of course I do baby)

Hidey-hi hidey-ho (Hidey-hi hidey-ho)

Hidey-hi hidey-ho (Hidey-hi hidey-ho)
Told you before that I love you so (Told you before that I love you so)
