Life is very rough and tumble for a humble siseuse

One can betray one's troubles never whatever occurs

Night after night

Have to be bright

Whether you're well or ill

The people have to laugh their fill

You mustn't sleep till dawn comes creeping

Though I never really grumble

Life's a jumble indeed

And in my efforts to succeed

I've had to formulate a creed

I believe in doing what I can

In crying when I must

And laughing when I choose

Height ho

If love were all I should be lonely

I believe the more you love a girl

The more you give your trust

The more you're bound to lose

Although when shadows fall I think if only

Somebody splendid really needed me

Somebody affectionate and dear

Cares would be ended

If I knew that she wanted to have me near

But I believe that since my life began

The most I've had is just a talent to amuse

Height ho

If love were all

But ah-ha I believe that since my life began

The most I've had is just a talent to amuse

Height ho

If love were all
