HI-FI PIDDLY PO (a.k.a. LOOKING FOR MY BABY) (Pete Ham)
[from "The Iveys" Maybe Tomorrow CD - recorded 1968 - released U.S. 1992]

I've traveled over land, I've traveled over sea
Trying to find my baby, my baby, just for me
Haven't found one yet, but this, I don't regret
'Cos looking for my baby's much more fun

Hi-fi piddly po
Looking for my babe in every town
Hi-fi piddly po
Baby, I'm too young to settle down

First, I think I will, then I think I won't
"Marry one, I mean," but something tells me, "Don't!"
Then I carry on and I know it won't be long
And while I wait, I'm having me some fun

Hi-fi piddly po
Looking for my babe in every town
Hi-fi piddly po
Baby, I'm too young to settle down

Think that I'm in love, as many times I've been
Until they start to plan a trip to Gretna Green
Then I'll lose my mind, and a new babe, I must find
'Cos looking for my baby's much more fun

Hi-fi piddly po
Looking for my babe in every town
Hi-fi piddly po
Baby, I'm too young to settle down.
