Hurdy Gurdy Man lyrics

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep

I opened my eyes to take a peek

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, gurdy", he sang

Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy", he sang

[George Harrison's contributional verse:]

When the truth gets buried deep

Beneath a thousand years of sleep

Time demands a turnaround

And once again the truth is found.

Awakening the Hurdy Gurdy Man

Who comes singing the songs of love

Here come the Hurdy Gurdy Men

And they're singin' the songs of love

"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
