"Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee", also known as An Actor's Life for Me,[1] is a song from Walt Disney's animated film Pinocchio sung by Walter Catlett.
The music is by Leigh Harline, the lyrics are by Ned Washington and Oliver Wallace, though he had no screen credit at all.[2] The song is sung by one of the antagonists John Worthington "Honest John" Foulfellow when he takes Pinocchio to the theater. A reprise of the song is sung when Pinocchio is being taken to Pleasure Island. The reprise in the soundtrack version on the disc contains none of the vocals as presented on the record and in the film. It is the very first Disney villain song in history.
