After being sold to Stromboli by Honest John and Gideon , the song is performed by Pinocchio in his first and only performance. Other puppets , representing different countries, join in throughout the show. At the end of the song, the audience cheers for Pinocchio's performance, much to Jiminy Cricket commenting that the audience liked his performance.
Stromboli later sings a short reprise while feasting and counting his earnings in his caravan. Cossack marionettes: Hey! Pinocchio: Hey! There are no strings on me. Stromboli: I've got no strings, but I've got the brain I buy a fancy coat and I'll swing-a the cane I eat the best and I drink-a champagne I got no strings on me! An earlier version of the song exists and was originally intended to be sung in a different scene, possibly before Pinocchio encounters Honest John and Gideon.
A vinyl recording of the song performed by Victor Young and the Ken Darby Singers is the only known version still surviving. Singer 1: Why does the gay little dickey-bird sing? Singer 2: Who put the 'zing' in the butterfly's wing? Singer 3: What's the reason for the smile on the troubadour? Singers: Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Ooh-woo-Ooh-woo Even the bee, who's a son of a gun? Singers: And who are you, we'd like to know? Pinocchio: Who, me? I'm Pinocchio! And I've got no strings To hold me down To make me fret, or make me frown I once had strings But now I'm free, There are no strings on me Hi-ho the merry-o That's the only way to be I want the world to know Nothing ever worries me I've got no strings So I have fun I'm not tied up to anyone How I love my liberty, There are no strings on me I've got no strings To hold me down To make me fret, or make me frown I once had strings But now I'm free.
