Hi-diddle-dee-de (an Actors Life For Me) lyrics

Words by Ned Washington



Music byLeigh Harline







The grass is always greener 



in the other fellow`s yard.



No matter what your life might be 



you think your life is hard.







If we could pick and choose 



and nature wasn`t a factor



here`s a bit of news:



I`d pick the life of an actor.







Hi-diddle-dee-dee, 



an actors life for me,



a high slik hat and a silver cane,



a watch of gold with a diamond chain.







Hi-diddle-dee-doo,



you`ll sleep till after two.



You prominade with a big cogar, 



you tour the world in a private car,



you dine on chicken and caviar,



an actor`s life for me.







Hi-diddle-dee-dee, 



an actors life for me,



a high slik hat and a silver cane,



a watch of gold with a diamond chain.







Hi-diddle-dee-doo,



you`ll sleep till after two.



You prominade with a big cogar, 



you tour the world in a private car,



you dine on chicken and caviar,



an actor`s life for me.
