The world owes me a livin'
(written by Frank Churchill & Pinto Colvig)

 

MIDI Goofy

 

Der eingängige Song aus dem Cartoon The Grasshopper and the Ants wurde von Pinto Colvig eingesungen, der bereits zwei Jahre lang die Stimme Goofys gewesen war (damals noch Dippy Dawg). Er übernahm diese Melodie später für einige Goofy Cartoons und machte das Lied damit zu einem Erkennungsstück des großen Tollpatschs.

The Good Book says the Lord provides
there's food on every tree
I see no reason to worry and work
no Sir, not me

Oh, the world owes us a livin'
Oh, the world owes us a livin'
you souldn't soil your Sunday pants
like those other foolish ants
come on, let's play and sing and dance

You'll change that tune when winter comes
and the ground is covered with snow
aw, winter time's a long way off
you dance ? let's go !

Oh, the world owes us a livin'
Oh, the world owes us a livin'
you souldn't soil your Sunday pants
like those other foolish ants
come on, let's play and sing and dance

...

I owe the world a living
I owe the world a living
I've been a fool a whole year long
and now I'm singing a different song
you were right, I was wrong
