Ladies and gentlemen
I present to you a man
He has travelled far and wide
He might not have a shilling to his name
But he has a song in his heart
He is the penniless optimist

Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
Got no carriage but he's got his song
Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
Got no silver but he's got his...

Don't care, but he's at me
Don't want, answer me free
Got nothing but he's got his soul

Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
Got no money but he's got his soul

Now, this is the part of the record
Where you go crazy
Cast aside your worries
Cast aside your problems
And dance like you don't care!

(Got no money but he's got his soul)
Got no carriage but he's got his song
Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
Got no silver but he's got his...

Don't have, but he's at me
Don't want, answer me free
Got no depots but he's got his song
Got no money but he's got his soul

Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
Got no money but he's got his soul
Jute-bar-di-bi-dura-da-pa-pa-ri-pu-di-pa-pa
(Got no money but he's got his soul)
(Got no money but he's got his soul)
(Got no money but he's got his soul)
