Hello, everyone.

Does anyone know the complete words to the Seven Dwarves work song (Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's off to work I go...)?

I would appreciate your posting it here.

Thanks in advance RandyS

What, are you trying to get us all killed? Don't you know the mouse has spies everywhere?

Lawyer paranoia aside, if you try some Disney fan sites, they may have them... then again, maybe not. The Mouse has brutally efficient netscavengers and lawyers.

Sorry,

M

I'd encourage sending via email. The Mouse has in the past shown a passion for litigation, including suing a preschool for painting Mickey (tm) and company on their walls, so I don't doubt that there's at least a chance that they'd go after the 'cat. As an addendum, after Disney obtained cease and desist on the preschool, Warner animation sent over some of their top animators to decorate the school... for free...

The Mouse going after the Cat - well there's a novelty! It's against nature I'd say - it jest ain't right!

Randy, SeanM, and bet,

I consider myself warned. But damn the subpoenas full speed ahead!! I found this through a search engine to a site with all of the lyrics from the animated feature "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". CLICK HERE

This song made it to number 3 in the pop charts in 1938 (before many a Mudcatter was born!)

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

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go


Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go


Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho


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

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go


Heigh-ho

{ 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

I have a vague recollection in Boy Scouts of singing lewd two line verses to this song. I cannot remember any of them however (thankfully!)

Enjoy the song!!! Even if it ain't folk! Roger in Baltimore

Just received this email joke today.
----------
A Scotsman was visiting a friend in the mountains of Canada.
The first morning in the cabin, he awoke and stood by the window admiring the scenery. Suddenly, he noticed a huge animal walk by.

"Och, Whut's Thaaat? He said.

His Canadian friend looked out the window, and said.

"Oh, that's a Moose."

Och! If thaaat's a moose, hoo big are your cats aroond here?"

The RAT that ate Orlando, what a fitting and WELL deserved title. Although I must admit over the years they have pulled the deception off very well. Pretending to be SOOOO family oriented, while raking in fistsful of dollars to buy up and ruin more land in central Florida. It all went to hell when Walt passed away.

Aye Banjer, my thoughts exactly. Walt is turning in his grave. Aside from that I thought the song went "I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.
