Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah



You're feeling sad and you look down the street

There's a hurdy gurdy man with no shoes to his feet

But a smile on his face as his head turns your way

And the hurdy gurdy's playing and it seems to say

She loves you, go and find her

And then never ever leave her



Now he's old and he's tired and his hair is grey

And his mind's full of dreams, all far far away

As he looks up at you there are tears in your eyes

And the hurdy gurdy's playing as you realise

How you love her, and you need her

Go and find her, never leave her



Can't you see it's all around us

Happiness seems to surround us

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah



Children laughing in a busy fairground

There's a hurdy gurdy playing a familiar sound

And she looks up at me and we know what it means

What the old man was thinking in his land full of dreams

How I love her, and I need her

And I'll never ever leave her



Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah......
