If you enjoy singing, whether it’s on stage, in the car, or in the shower, this joyous, uplifting, easy-to-sing tune is guaranteed to brighten your day. I singing in the shower trying to cheer myself up when I mashed together some happy songs from my youth: “Whoopie Ti Yi Yo,” “Zippity Do Dah”, and “Hi Dee Ho.”
I hear this as a Broadway show tune, or in a Hollywood musical, or maybe one sung by an inspirational Disney character tired of being told what to do with his or her life. Just singing the chorus will cheer you up. Give it a try.

They say I gotta find a way
To make my livin’
I gotta find something to do
I gotta find some peace of mind
I gotta pay some dues.
So I think I’ll be a musician
They seem to like what they do
And in this sweet short life
You ain’t got the time
To do what they tell you to.
I’ll get up in the after morning
I’ll play guitar in the early noon
And by the evening time
I’ll have a bunch of new lines
And maybe written a couple of tunes
La dot dot dotta dot dotta–
Doo doot doot doobie doot doo–
Hi dee ho
Yippie ti yi yo
Doo wop, scoobie doo.
There’s folk, pop, jazz or country
So many styles from which to choose
Gospel, soul,
Good time rock ‘n’ roll
And I can damn sure sing the blues.
La dot dot dotta dot dotta–
Doo doot doot doobie doot doo–
Hi dee ho
Whooppie ti yi yo
Doo wop, zippity doo.
So I think I’ll be a musician
They seem to like what they do
And in this sweet short life
You ain’t got the time
To do all you ought to do.
Yeah, I think I’ll be a musician
I’ll play to pay my dues
‘Cause in this sweet short life
You ain’t got the time
To do all you want to do.
La dot dot dotta dot dotta–
Doo doot doot doobie doot doo–
Hi dee ho
Yippie ti yi yo
Doo wop, scoobie doo.
La dot dot dotta dot dotta–
Doo doot doot doobie doot doo–
Hi dee ho
Whooppie ti yi yo
Doo wop, zippity doo.
