I have stared and stared and stared
Till my eyes fell down to dust
Now i'm walking with no eyes
Op pa, la-la, op pa
:::
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
:::
I have walked and walked and walked
Till i fell and crooked and died
Would i better run like dumb?
Smiling, blinking on a sun?
:::
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
:::
I have sweat and sweat and sweat
Till some gossips heard of me
Gathered round me like clowns
Clap their hands in dignity
:::
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
Hey, ho tra-la-lu!
It all may be without me too!
