Hey Li Lee Li Lee Songtext

von The Limeliters

(We feel that we have succeeded in establishing a sufficiently
Vibrant group dynamic here to permit us to lead you in group song.
How 'bout some community singing, what do you say. Now
Pay attention to recreation director Yarborough and recreation
Director Hasalev as we lead you in a choral speach run through
Of the text. Hey li lee li lee li lee. Not what I'd expected. I'm a little
Disappointed really. Now once more. Hey li lee li lee low. They've
Got it. The rain in Spain on the table makes a stain. I do want to
Caution you about our motto here at camp. It reads as follows: Clean mind, clean
Body, take your pick)

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Louder)

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee

Well a married will keep your secret
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
A single boy will talk about you
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Here's another of the original verses)

Sing this song in every land
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Dance togther hand in hand
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(I want you to be perparing your verses.
But before we request spontenaety on the
Part of the audience, perhaps we should
Display some ourselves. Don't you feel that?)

Of the banjo he is rex
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Now we'll here a verse from Alex
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

You've all just heard a verse from Lou.
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
I wish he'd come up with something new
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Louder)

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Fine. Now does anyone feel moved
To contribute a little two line poem to
This song? You can do it in groups you
Know. Yes, oh fine.)

I think the guy who wrote this song
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Should have to sing it all night long
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Anyone else. Yes)

Holding hands is such great joy
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Too bad my partner is a boy
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Well that lowered the level. Here's one
Right in front.)

The Limeliters put on a show
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Kingston trio, out you go.
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(Oh dreadful partisanship there)

Let the audience sing not me
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
I know when I'm off key
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

I don't know if you knew it feller'
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
You just spoiled a billion seller
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

(That was free verse)

The Bro' back there his verses are such
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
That I think he's been drinking too much
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

If you see a waitress here
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Send her over with a beer
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

I know a girl who lives on a hill
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
She won't kiss me but her sister will
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

I know that girl who lives on the hill
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
(It's not that she won't young man. It's that she has so many
Unresolved problems in her personality structure. That it makes
It very difficult for her to achieve a decision in a time of
Intensified emotional stress. To know her, however, is to love
Her.)
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Well there's lots more verses to this song
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
But I think we'd better be movin' along
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low

Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Li Lee
Hey Li Lee Li Lee Low
