[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor's life for me
With clothes that come from the finest shop
And lots of peanuts and soda pop
Hi-diddle-dee-day
An actor's life is gay
It's great to be a celebrity
An actor's life for me

[Interlude]
Hi-ya-da-da-dum
Ra-dup-ba-dum-ba-dum
Ra-dup-pa-du-pa-du-dap-dee-dee
Ya-la-la-li-dum-ba-dum-bum-bee
[Verse 3]
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
