Hurdy Gurdy Man



Thrown like a star in my vast sleep

I'm opening my eyes to take a peep

To find that I was by the sea

Gazing with tranquility



'Twas then when the hurdy gurdy man

Came singing songs of love

Then when the hurdy gurdy man

Came singing songs of love



Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang



Histories of ages past

Unenlightened shadows cast

Down through all eternity

The crying of humanity



'Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man

Comes singing songs of love

Then when the hurdy gurdy man

Comes singing songs of love



Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy hurdy gurd

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang



Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Here comes the roly-poly man

He's singing songs of love

Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang

Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang
