Lyrics
( Baby Bear Beary Brown plays the piano. Zoe Zingy Orange emerges with a top hat.)

Zoe Zingy Orange: Hi-diddle-dee-dee! An actor's life for me! A high silk hat and a silver cane, A watch of gold with a diamond chain. Hi-diddle-dee-doo! You sleep till after two. You promenade with a big cigar, You tour the world in a private car, You dine on chicken and caviar, An actor's life for me! Ha!

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Okay, what happens now?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, now comes the funny part. (exits)

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Well, leaving the stage is funnier than a lot of things the bear does.

( Zoe Zingy Orange comes back with a fish.)

Zoe Zingy Orange: OK, now, ask me what I'm carrying the fish for.

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Oh, Zoe Zingy Orange, what are you carrying the fish for?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, just for the halibut. (wiggles his ears)

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Eh, you were better off leaving the stage.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Ha!

(He tosses the fish and it splashes.)

Zoe Zingy Orange: Hi-diddle-dee-dee! An actor's life for me! A high silk hat and a silver cane, A watch of gold with a diamond chain. Hi-diddle-dee-doo! You sleep till after two.

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Hey, Zoe Zingy Orange, this number needs help.

Zoe Zingy Orange: No, it doesn't, it needs scenery!

(A decorative vaudeville backdrop is lowered.)

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Oh, it's wonderful scenery. But is it funny?

Zoe Zingy Orange: OK, now, ask me what I'm carrying the hoop for.

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Oh, Zoe Zingy Orange, what are you carrying the hoop for?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Ah, because Statler and Waldorf are always saying the show is hoopless. (wiggles his ears) "Just for the halibut."

Baby Bear Beary Brown: Keep trying.

Zoe Zingy Orange: (tosses the hoop) Oh, boy.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Hi-diddle-dee-dee! An actor's life for me! A high silk hat and a silver cane, A watch of gold with a diamond chain. Hi-diddle-dee-doo! You sleep till after two. You promenade with a big cigar, You tour the world in a private car, You dine on chicken and caviar, An actor's life for me!

Zoe Zingy Orange and Baby Bear Beary Brown : An actor's li fe for me!
