Tom Paxton and I have a great deal of fun writing songs together, and sometimes we even get to perform and record together!

HIDEY-HO

Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
It's a darned good day for me

Every day I wake up
Give my legs a shakeup
Every day I wake up
Feels like a victory

Put my two feet on the floor
Up and ready for some more
Holler out the bedroom door
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

I’m a real poetic man
Throw some bacon in the pan
Time to do it all again
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
It's a darned good day for me

Every day I wake up
Give my legs a shakeup
Every day I wake up
Feels like a victory

Life gets boring on my own
No good livin’ all alone
Barely need the telephone
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

There’s a widow up the street
And someday we ought to meet
She could make my day complete
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

Think I’ll stroll up there and see
What that widow thinks of me
Try some witty repartee
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

She might hand me back my hat
Kick me out in seconds flat
Like a scrawny alley cat
Hidey, hidey, hidey-ho

Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
It's a darned good day for me

Every day I wake up
Give my legs a shakeup
Every day I wake up
Feels like a victory

Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
Every day I wake up
Feels like a victory
