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 [bad word] singing songs of love
 Then when the hurdy gurdy man [bad word] 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
 [bad word] 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
