The Silly Song

"The Silly Song" is a song featured in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The seven dwarfs sing to Snow White to entertain her and celebrate her arrival. During the song, Dopey stands on Sneezy's shoulders and dances with Snow White. A huge sneeze from Sneezy, which sends Dopey into the ceiling, ends the song, followed by laughter from the dwarfs and princess.

The dwarfs were originally to sing You're Never Too Old, but it was eventually decided that the song should be completely nonsensical; however, both versions are available on the film's official soundtrack.

Lyrics
(Yodel:) Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-ee-ay-ee-lee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay Ho-la-la-ee-ay-ee-la-lee-ay-lee-o-lee-ay

(repeat)

Happy: I'd like to dance and tap my feet But they won't keep in rhythm You see, I washed them both today And I can't do nothing with 'em

(Chorus) Ho hum, the tune is dumb The words don't mean a thing Isn't this a silly song For anyone to sing?

Bashful: I chased a polecat up a tree Way out upon a limb And when he got the best of me I got the worst of him

(Chorus)

(Yodel, etc.)
