Thrown like a star in my high sleep
I open 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
Here comes the roly-poly man
He's singing songs of love
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy
Hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Oh
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
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
Here comes the roly-poly man
And he's singing songs of love
Roly-poly, roly-poly
Roly-poly, poly he sang
Oh
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy
Hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang
Here comes the roly-poly man
And he's baking flaky pastry
Flaky pastry, flaky pastry
Flaky pastry he sang
Hurdy gurdy, roly-poly
Flaky pastry
Hanky panky, hanky panky
Hanky, namby-pamby he sang
Here comes the winkie-roly man
And he's selling double-glazing
Hazy, crazy, hazy, crazy
Flaky pastry, mastry he sang
Tootsy fruitsy, tootsy fruitsy
Topsy-turvy wurvy turvy
It was a waste
Waky, waky, waky
Waky, waky, waky
Waky, waky
Waky, wake.
