Rickys Jig

(Refrain – schnell)

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, Ricky’s fiddle goin’ go!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, spin around and stomp the floor!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, clap your hands and jump real high!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, dance with Ricky ‘til the sky!

(Strophe 1 – schnell gesprochen/singbar)

Down-da-hill, through-da-barn, townfolk runnin’ here,

Feet-a-tappin’, hands-a-clappin’, party full of cheer!

Banjo-twang, fiddle-sing, drum-boom-boom-boom,

Everybody jiggin’ now, shake the roof, shake the room!

(Refrain – schnell)

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, Ricky’s fiddle goin’ go!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, spin around and stomp the floor!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, clap your hands and jump real high!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, dance with Ricky ‘til the sky!

(Strophe 2 – Silben schnell)

Spin-left, jump-right, stomp-stomp, clap-clap, twist-twist,

Kick-a-boot, holler-loud, don’t let your hat miss!

Horses-prance, pigs-dance, cows sway, chickens flap,

Everybody in the jig, party never naps!

(Bridge – crescendo, noch schneller)

Twirl-twirl, shout-shout, hey-dee-ay, jump-jump,

Spin-spin, clap-clap, stomp-stomp, bump-bump!

Faster-faster, shake-shake, move-move, fly-fly,

Ricky’s jig keep goin’ on, dance ‘til we touch the sky!

(Refrain – doppelt schnell, zum Finale)

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, Ricky’s fiddle goin’ go!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, spin around and stomp the floor!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, clap your hands and jump real high!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, dance with Ricky ‘til the sky!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, Ricky’s fiddle goin’ go!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, spin around and stomp the floor!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, clap your hands and jump real high!

Hey-dee-ay, hey-dee-ay, dance with Ricky ‘til the sky!
