Hi Ho (on the Heart of Gold)

Words: Chris Malme
To the tune of "Hi Ho Silver Lining"

You're everywhere and nowhere baby,
Take it from me
You're riding on a ship that's fueled by
Improbability.
Gonna get you somewhere, someday,
Just wait and see,
All we need is one more rock cake
And a hot cup of tea.

        And the Earthman's always whining
        On the Heart of Gold, oh baby,
        Somewhere the sun is shining,
        But please don't make a fuss,
        'Cos it's not on us.

Travel to an unmarked system
In the back of beyond
Nothing there but you and me, babe,
Of that I'm fond.
Picked up the odd hitchhiker,
Left me agape,
For ain't it just my friend Ford Prefect
And an overgrown ape!

        And the Earthman's always whining
        On the Heart of Gold, oh baby,
        Somewhere the sun is shining,
        But please don't make a fuss,
        'Cos it's not on us.

Dining in the famous Restaurant
At The End Of Time
Monkey wouldn't eat his dinner
What a terrible crime
Muttering about a salad
Such an uncool frood
Didn't anybody tell him
Never talk to your food?

        And the Earthman's always whining
        On the Heart of Gold, oh baby,
        Somewhere the sun is shining,
        But please don't make a fuss,
        'Cos it's not on us.

        And the Earthman's always whining
        On the Heart of Gold, oh baby,
        Somewhere the sun is shining,
        But please don't make a fuss,
        'Cos it's not on us.
