(HI-HO-LACK-A-DAY) WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO LOSE? Words and music by Gus Kahn, Charlotte Kent, and Louis Alter, ©1933. As recorded by Phil Harris, 1933. VERSE: Now, I've got the swellest proposition And I keep wishin' that you'd agree, 'Cause, honey, in my life there's only one ambition. It's concerning you and concerning me. CHORUS: Now I haven't got a nickel, and you haven't got a dime, But I'm not so very busy, dear, and you've got lots of time. Hi-ho! Lack-a-day! Now what have we got to lose? Now, I'm very fond of walking, 'cause I haven't any car, And the church around the corner, dear, is not so very far. Hi-ho! Lack-a-day! What have we got to lose? Hi-diddle-diddle! That's a song That we can sing the whole day long. Hi-ho! Why, if anything goes wrong, We'll just sing our worries away. Now, we won't let little troubles upset our sweet romance, 'Cause hist'ry, dear, will tell you that Columbus took a chance. Hi-ho! Lack-a-day! What have we got to lose?
