Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee is sung by Honest John as he leads Pinocchio to Stromboli’s caravan. The song is meant to seduce Pinocchio into the glamourous life of an actor, while not revealing the truth about the abuse he will face.
It is most notably the first Disney villain song.
The song is reprised late...
[HONEST JOHN]
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-day
An actor's life is gay
It's great to be a celebrity
An actor's life for me
Hi-diddle-dee-dum
An actor's life for me!
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!
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-day
An actor's life is gay
It's great to be a celebrity
An actor's life for me
