Hi Too Loo Rye Hop Along

Mother, once I awoke as an old man
My name was Stanley Forbes, and I threw tin cans at everyone who passed my porch
I don't know why I did, but I didn't throw them at the kids, so
I was a good guy

I remember yellin' hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before I die
So why
Too loo rye
Is everybody is walking by? Oh hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before I die
And I wanna sigh and cry
Alongside my brothers

Mother, once I awoke as a squirrel
And I jumped from tree to tree to tree to tree
It was me at the acme of my career
I saved all I caught that year, which is a lot of acorns let me tell you
I was very resourceful

And I cried
Too loo rye
This is how it feels to fly so high
Too loo rye
This ain't nothing cash could buy, oh hi
Too loo rye
Tomorrow, I could die
So I'm gonna climb the pines and have myself a time
