Heigh-Ho
From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: [Dwarfs]

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in our mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we really like to do
It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho

Chorus
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

(Chorus)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
(Whistle)

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho hum

(Chorus three times)

Heigh-ho (until fade)

{ A sheet music version goes:
Heigh ho, heigh ho
To make your troubles go
Just keep on singing
All day long, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong
With a heigh, heigh ho

Heigh ho, heigh ho
It's home from work we go
Heigh ho, heigh ho
Heigh ho, heigh ho
All seven in a row
With a heigh, heigh ho }

Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: Harry Stockwell [Prince]

One Song
I have but one song
One song
Only for you

One heart
Tenderly beating
Ever entreating
Constant and true

Thrilling me through

One song
My heart keeps singing
Of one love
Only for you

The Silly Song
From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: [Dwarfs]

Yodel:
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-ee-ay-ee-lee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay
Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-lee-ay-lee-o-lee-ay

(repeat)

I'd like to dance and tap my feet
But they won't keep in rhythm
You see, I washed them both today
And I can't do nothing with 'em

Chorus
Ho hum the tune is dumb
The words don't mean a thing
Isn't this a silly song
For anyone to sing?

I chased a polecat up a tree
Way out on upon a limb
And when he got the best of me
I got the worst of him

(Chorus)

(Yodel, etc.)

With a Smile and a Song
From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: Adriana Caselotti [Snow White]

With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright sunny day
Your cares fade away
And your heart is young

With a smile and a song
All the world seems to waken anew
Rejoicing with you
As the song is sung

There's no use in grumbling
When the raindrops come tumbling
Remember, you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine

When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's spring
And life flows along
With a smile and a song

Some Day my Prince will Come
From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: Adriana Caselotti [Snow White]

Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again
And away to his castle we'll go
To be happy forever I know

Some day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true

{ A sheet music version reads:
Some day my prince will come
Some day I'll find my love
And how thrilling that moment will be
When the prince of my dreams comes to me

He'll whisper "I love you"
And steal a kiss or two
Though he's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true

Some day I'll find my love
Someone to call my own
And I'll know her the moment we meet
For my heart will start skipping a beat

Some day we'll say and do
Things we've been longing to
Though she's far away
I'll find my love some day
Some day when my dreams come true }

You're Never Too Old to be Young
From "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey
Performed by: [Dwarfs]

Yodel:
Yodel-ay-ee-hoo (etc.)
(Repeat)

Chorus
You're never too old to be young
You're never too old to be young

When you start to lose your figure
And your hips are gettin' bigger
Your chest may slip
But don't you fret
No matter how weak your knees may get

(Chorus)

Though your teeth are out
And your whiskers sprout
And your arches give away
You're never too old to be young and gay

(Yodel)

When ya ain't got any fuzz upon your dome
When ya ain't got any fuzz upon your dome
Why the dickens should you care
If you ain't got any hair
'Cuz you never have to use a brush and comb

When you know your legs are gonna give out soon
When you know your legs are gonna give out soon
When your joints begin to squeak
If you practice for a week
You can walk around and play yourself a tune
Your voice may crack when you try to sing
But you can't be good at everything

(Yodel, etc.)

(Chorus)

Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)
From "Pinocchio"
Music: Leigh Harline
Lyrics: Ned Washington
Performed by: Walter Catlett [John Worthington Foulfellow]

Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor's life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold with a diamond chain

Hi-diddle-dee-day
An actor's life is gay
It's great to be a celebrity
An actor's life for me

Hi-diddle-dee-dum
An actor's life is fun

Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor's life for me
A wax mustache and a beaver coat
A pony cart and a billy goat

Hi-diddle-dee-dum
An actor's life is fun
You wear your hair in a pompadour
You ride around in a coach and four
You stop and buy out a candy store
An actor's life for me!

{ A sheet music version gives the following:
Hi diddle dee dee
An actor's life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold and a diamond chain

Hi diddle dee dee
You sleep till after two
You promenade a big cigar
You tour the world in a private car
You dine on chicken and caviar
An actor's life for me! }

I've Got No Strings
From "Pinocchio"
Music: Leigh Harline
Lyrics: Ned Washington
Performed by: Dickie Jones [Pinocchio], et al.

[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:
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!

Give a Little Whistle
From "Pinocchio"
Music: Leigh Harline
Lyrics: Ned Washington
Performed by: Cliff Edwards [Jiminy Cricket], Dickie Jones [Pinocchio]

When you get in trouble and you don't know right from wrong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
When you meet temptation and the urge is very strong
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!

Not just a little squeak, pucker up and blow
And if your whistle's weak, yell, "Jiminy Cricket!"
Right!

Take the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
And always let your conscience be your guide

When You Wish Upon a Star
From "Pinocchio"
Music: Leigh Harline
Lyrics: Ned Washington
Performed by: Cliff Edwards [Jiminy Cricket]

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

Baby Mine
From "Dumbo"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Ned Washington

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you

From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Casey Junior
From "Dumbo"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Ned Washington

It's Casey Junior comin' down the track
Comin' down the track
With a smokey stack

Hear him puffin' 'round the hill
Casey's here to thrill
Ev'ry Jack and Jill

Ev'ry time his funny little whistle sounds
(Toot toot)
Ev'rybody hurries to the Circus grounds

Time for lemonade and crackerjack
Casey Junior's back
Casey Junior's back again

When I See an Elephant Fly
From "Dumbo"
Music: Oliver Wallace
Lyrics: Ned Washington

I saw a peanut stand,
heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.

I saw a front porch swing,
heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
when I see an elephant fly.

I seen a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that I only heard
But just to be sociable I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat
I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd been done seen about everything
when I see an elephant fly.

{ These verses appear in the songbook _The Disney Collection_
but not in the film:

I even heard a chocolate drop,
I went into a store, saw a bicycle shop.
You can't deny the things you see,
but I know there's certain things that just can't be.

The other day by chance,
saw an old barn dance,
And I just laughed til I thought I'd die.
But I think I will have seen everything
when I see an elephant fly. }

Love is a Song
From "Bambi"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey

Love is a song that never ends
Life may be swift and fleeting
Hope may die yet love's beautiful music
Comes each day like the dawn

Love is a song that never ends
One simple theme repeating
Like the voice of a heavenly choir
Love's sweet music flows on

Little April Shower
From "Bambi"
Music: Frank Churchill
Lyrics: Larry Morey

Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around

Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
What can compare
To your beautiful sound

Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music
Can brighten the day

Drip, drip, drop
When the sun says howdy
You say goodbye right away

Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
Ev'rywhere that you fall

Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
I'm getting wet
And I don't care at all

Drip, drop, drip, drop
I'll never be afraid
Of a good little
Gay little
April serenade
