I've Got No Strings

Lyrics from "Pinocchio"

Music and lyrics by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington

I've got no strings

To hold me down

To make me fret, or make me frown

I had strings

But now I'm free

There are no strings on me

Hi-ho the me-ri-o

That's the only way to be

I want the world to know

Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings

So I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

They've got strings

But you can see

There are no strings on me

You have no strings

Your arms is free

To love me by the Zeider Zee

Ya, ya, ya, if you would woo

I'd bust my strings for you

You have no strings

Couci couca

Your savoir faire is oo-la-la

I've got strings but entre nous

I'd cut my strings for you

Down where the Volga flows

There's a Russian rendez-vous

Where me and Ivan goes

But I'd rather go with you, hey!

There are no strings on me!
