“Heigh-Ho” is a song from Walt Disney’s 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, written by Frank Churchill (music) and Larry Morey (lyrics). It is sung by the group of seven dwarfs as they work at a mine with diamonds and rubies, and is one of the best-known songs in the film.

The melodic theme for “Heigh-Ho” might have been inspired by Robert Schumann’s composition for piano “The Happy Farmer, Returning From Work” from his 1848 work Album for the Young, Opus 68.[citation needed]

The other Dwarf Chorus songs are “Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum” (eventually omitted from the film) and “The Silly Song”.

The group Mannheim Steamroller covered the song on their 1999 album, Mannheim Steamroller Meets the Mouse.

In the 1988 Disney animated film Oliver & Company Tito sings “Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, it’s off to work we go” when he is rescuing Jenny.

The song was also featured in the 1979 stage adaption of the 1937 animated musical film.
