Hi-Tiddley-Hi-Ti (or I'm All Right). A Bacchanalian ditty from 1893. Words by E. W. Rogers. Music by George Le Brunn. • Lyrics • 1. I've had a fair bank holiday • Things with me lately have been gay • First I dodged the tax collector • Then I did the gas Inspector • Then with the lodger my dear wife • Sloped with the children on my life • So to hide my woe and strife • I thought I'd have a lark • So in half a tick • I toddled round, toddled round • And some pals I quickly found • Good and sound • Soon your joys and cares • We drown'd you be bound • I was so gay I'd swore I'd pay • And to them made remark • Chorus • All of you come along with me • I'm for a rare old fine old spree • Ev'rybody here's invited • Come with me I'll see you righted • All of you come, you must be dry • Hi-tiddley-hi-ti, Hi-ti Hi! • Come along and wet your eye • For I'm all right • 2. Down to the West I went with ten • Good solid lasting, fasting men • Arm in arm we started strolling • Soon the blessed lot were rolling • Dear little girls from near and far • Said, with a smile, Ah! there you are • Then I asked them to the bar • As they all looked so dry • There were fourteen girls • With golden hair, oh! so fair • Twenty cabmen standing there did a stare • All came in to have a share, take their fare • And for the lot upon the spot • For drinks I had to cry • 3. After I'd treated half the town • I tried to borrow half-a-crown • Asked my pals, but each old crony • Swore to goodness he was stoney • I, being fairly on the job • Asked a policeman for a bob • But he tapped me on the nob • And told me I was tight • Then my pals came round • Their tempers rose, came to blows • Some one struck the policeman's nose • Such a nose! He called Help • As you'll suppose, oh! our woes • Then ran us in, and with a grin • He shouted with delight • Final chorus • All of you come along with me • You've had a rare old fine old spree • Ev'rybody here's invited • Join me, and I'll see you righted • All of you come, you must be dry • Hi-tiddley-hi-ti, Hi-ti Hi • Come along and wet your eye • For I'm all right • -------------------------------------------------- • Sheet music found at Baylor University. • Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne. • Vocal and video by Fred Feild. • Find sheet music and midi here: • https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/hi-t...
