Hi-Tiddley-Hi-Ti Island

Hi-Tiddley-Hi-Ti Island - George Formby

I've just come back from a cannibal isle

Called Hi-tiddly-hi-ti-ti

Where a dusky queen said "Hello Bean "

And gave me the goo-goo eye

Her face was like an empty space

And my poor heart went 'bing

I tried to go but she shouted

"Whoa " And made me her"Hi-ti" King

In Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island

Everybody wears a smile;

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody lives in style

The girls out there are full of sport

And were their frocks a trifle short

Some are simply 'wrapped in thought

In Hi-Tiddly-Hi-Ti Isle

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody wears a smile

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody lives in style

Young couples go to bathe you'll find

And leave their bathing suits behind

It's a darned good job that love is blind

In Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Isle

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody wears a smile

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody lives in style

The life's so fast and swift and gay

You live two weeks then fade away

I'm taking the wife for a fortnights stay

In Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Isle

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody wears a smile

Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Island everybody lives in style

Instead of grass the cows chew pins

And when their milking time begins

The milk comes out in shilling tins

On Hi-tiddly-hi-ti Isle
