Harry James — I Wish I Wuz lyrics

Lyrics

hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
tell ya what I’d like to be hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
here is what I dream I’d like to be
I wish I was a swingin', clingin' vine
I wish I was a swingin', clingin' vine
if I was a swingin', clingin' vine
I’d only cling to the boy of mine
I wish I was a swingin', clingin' vine
hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
tell ya what I’d like to be hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
here is what I dream I’d like to be
— instrumental break —
I wish I was a glass of sherry wine
I wish I was a glass of sherry wine
if I was a glass of sherry wine
I’d warm your heart till you were mine
I wish I was a glass of sherry wine
hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
tell ya what I’d like to be hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
here is what I dream I’d like to be
I wish I was an apple on a tree
I wish I was an apple on a tree
if I was an apple on a tree
a boy’d come along, take a bite from me I wish I was an apple on a tree
hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
tell ya what I’d like to be hi-ho, fiddle-dee-dee
here is what I dream I’d like to be here is what I dream I’d like to be
