Hooray! Hooray! It’s a Holi-Holiday Lyrics
[Intro]
Digge ding ding ding digge digge ding ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Digge ding ding ding digge digge ding ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Verse 1]
There's a place I know
Where we should go
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Won't you take me there
Your lady fair
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
There's a brook nearby
The grass grows high
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
Where we both can hide
Side by side
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
[Chorus]
Hooray! Hooray!
It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun
For everyone
Holi-holiday
Digge ding ding ding digge digge ding ding
Hi-de-hi-de-ho

[Verse 2]
There's a country fair
Not far from there
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
On a carousel
The ding-dong bell
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
On the loop di loop
We swing and swoop
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)
And what else we'll do
Is up to you
(Hi-de-hi-de-ho)

Hooray! Hooray!

[Verse 3]
In the countryside
We take a ride
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Where the stars will shine
Lots of time
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Back of your old car
We might get far
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
In the summer breeze
We feel at ease
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Chorus]
Hooray! Hooray!
It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun
For everyone
Holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray!
It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun
For everyone
Holi-holiday
It's a holi-holiday
It's a holi-holiday
In the countryside
We take a ride
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Where the stars will shine
Lots of time
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
Back of your old car
We might get far
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
In the summer breeze
We feel at ease
Hi-de-hi-de-ho
[Chorus]
Hooray! Hooray!
It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun
For everyone
Holi-holiday
Hooray! Hooray!
It's a holi-holiday
What a world of fun

Genius Annotation
This song is an adaptation of nursery rhyme Polly Wolly Doodle. Unlike other Boney M. singles, there appears to be no different mixes. In Germany, this was the first single to picture a specially designed label with a star-spangled Boney M. logo on a blue background. In the UK, the single was released in a picture sleeve – it was also pressed on a picture disc and a 12" clear yellow vinyl with card picture cover insert.
