Live alone and like it
Free as the birds in the trees
High above the briars
Live alone and like it
Doing whatever you please
When your heart desires
Free to hang around or fly at any old time
No equivocation
Most often no quarantees
That can be your motto
Free of obligation
Only the murmuring breeze
As an obbligato
Live alone and like it
Why is that such a crime?
Free to call the tune
Free to say if I′m gonna work or play
You can have the moon
But you don't have to have it night and day
Anyway,
What I like is gliding
Where the wind takes me to
Flying high and hiding up in a tree
Live alone and like it
Di-didididi-dum
That′s the answer for me
Free to call the tune
Free to say if I'm gonna work or play
You can have the moon
But you don't have to have it night and day
Anyway,
On your own with only
You to concern yourself
Doesn′t mean you′re lonely
Just that you're free
Live alone and like it
Di-didididi-dum
Mmm-mm mm-mmm
Didili-de-didi-ey
Mmm-mm mm-mmm
Pa-dididi-di-dididi-di didi
Mmm-mm mm-mmm
That′s the answer for me
