Lyrics
The grass is always greener
In the other fellow’s yard
No matter what your life may be
You think your life is hard
If we could pick and choose
And nature wasn’t a factor
Here’s a bit of news
I’d pick the life of an actor
Chorus:
Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor’s life for me
A high silk hat and a silver cane
A watch of gold with a diamond chain
Hi-diddle-dee-doo
You sleep till after two
You promenade with a big cigar
You tour the world in a private car
You dine on chicken and caviar
And actor’s life for me
Chorus:
Hi-diddle-dee-dee
An actor′s life for me
A wax mustache and a beaver coat
A pony cart and a billy goat
Hi-diddle-dee-dum
An actor’s life is fun
You wear your hair in a pompadour
You ride around in a coach and four
You stop and buy out a candy store
An actor′s life for me
