The Original "Pippi Longstocking" Lyrics

I have grandchildren that absolutely LOVE the original four "Pippi Longstocking" movies from the 1970's.  They were always trying to sing the theme song and inventing at least half the lyrics, so we went to the internet.  But we couldn't find the whole song posted there, so we had to try to work on getting it all down in print ourselves.  Here is our best effort on the lyrics:

The Original "Pippi Longstocking" Song

I am Pippi Longstocking
If you say it fast, it's funny
Pippi, Pippi Longstocking
How I love my funny name

I'm only 9, I always live alone
Inside my papa's house
Until he comes back home from far off.
I have special friends, of course,
A monkey and somewhere, a horse
They share in my adventures, too.

I am Pippi Longstocking
With a hope and a ha and a hope shah-nah
Here comes Pippi Longstocking
Watch out, here she comes!


The Second Version of the Original "Pippi Longstocking" Song

Freckles on her nose
Diddle diddle di, a girl came riding
Into town one day, diddle diddle
She was quite a sight

It's Pippi Longstocking
Hay ho ho ha he ha ha
It's Pippi Longstocking
There's no one like her.

Happy as can be, diddle diddle
Pippi tells you stories.
You just wait and see, tra la la la la
She's quite a girl.

She's got a house, an older funny house
A monkey and a horse
A suitcase full of golden coins
And you'll never ever ever find
Another girl so strong
And always generous and kind.

Pippi's world is fun, diddle diddle di
She makes kids happy
Her make-believe may stun, diddle diddle di
The grownups here in town.

Pippi's quite unique, diddle diddle
With her smile disarming
She is such an imp, tra la la la la
You'll love her, too!
