Words by Ned Washington

The grass is always greener
in the other fellow`s yard.
No matter what your life might be
you think your life is hard.

If we could pick and choose
and nature wasn`t a factor
here`s a bit of news:
I`d pick the life of an actor.

Hi-diddle-dee-dee,
an actors life for me,
a high slik hat and a silver cane,
a watch of gold with a diamond chain.

Hi-diddle-dee-doo,
you`ll sleep till after two.
You prominade with a big cogar,
you tour the world in a private car,
you dine on chicken and caviar,
an actor`s life for me.

Hi-diddle-dee-dee,
an actors life for me,
a high slik hat and a silver cane,
a watch of gold with a diamond chain.

Hi-diddle-dee-doo,
you`ll sleep till after two.
You prominade with a big cogar,
you tour the world in a private car,
you dine on chicken and caviar,
an actor`s life for me.
