(G. Goffin, C. King) (as sung by BS T, slightly different than original lyrics)
Hi De Ho Hi De Hi Gonna Get me A piece of the pie Gonna get me Some of that Old Sweet Roll Singin' Hi de hi de hi de hi de Hooooo
I've been down so low Bottom looked like up Once I thought that seconds saves was enough to fill my cup So I proffered all I got But it ain't no way to live Being taken by the ones who got The least amount to give
Hi de ho Hi de hi Gonna get me a piece of the sky Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll Singing hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo.
Once I met the devil He was mighty slick Tempted me with worldly goods Said -you can have your pick- But when he laid that paper on me And he showed me where to sign I said thank you very kindly But I'm in too good-a mood to mind
Hi de ho Hi de hi Gonna get me a piece of the sky Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hooooo. Hi de ho Hi de hi Gonna get me a piece of the sky Gonna get me some of that old sweet roll Singin' hi de hi de hi de hi de hoooo (repeat to fade)
