Hop Along - Hi Too Loo Rye lyrics

Mother, once I awoke as an old man
My name was Stanley Forbes
And I threw tin cans at
Everyone who passed my porch
I don't know why I did, but I
Didn't throw them at the kids, so
I was a good guy

I remember yellin' hi too loo rye
It's the day before I die so why
Too loo rye
Is everybody is walking by? Oh hi
Too loo rye it's the day before I die
And I wanna sigh and cry
Alongside my brothers

Mother, once I awoke as a squirrel
And I jumped from tree to
Tree to tree to tree
It was me at the acme of my career
I saved all I caught that year
Which is a lot of acorns let me tell you
I was very resourceful

And I cried too loo rye
This is how it feels to fly so high
Too loo rye
This ain't nothing cash could buy, oh hi
Too loo rye tomorrow, I could die
So I'm gonna climb the pines
And have myself a time
Mother, I dreamt I died last night
See I was a lightbulb
Left on a little too long
And I burned till I was dead
With a hundred good ideas in my head
But, I forgot 'em all
And they tried to throw me away
But hey when they grabbed ahold of me
They all would burn their hands and see that
I was still quite hot with thought and so
A little thought they got that
They should keep me as a kind of warmth
You can't get from a stove or hearth
So I sought and thought but
Then cooled down and said

Oh, hi too loo rye
To think I had a light inside when I try
Too loo rye
To remember what I wanted to find so, sigh
Too loo rye i thought that I had died

But, I think tonight I got it right
I'm Stanley and
The squirrel, the invisible light
I'm a lover, liar, humble fire
I'm a little spider and a chicken on
A wire- Climbin', tryin', sighin'
Cryin', laughin', high-fivin', slowly dyin'

But, I swear now that's alright
Yeah I swear now that's alright
(Dear mother, I'm alright)
