The Hedgehog's Song

I'm not the kind to complain that I never had a girl to love

Many a fine girl I tried hard to know but I think I never tried enough

Sittin' one day by myself and I'm thinkin' what could be wrong?

When this funny little hedgehog comes runnin' up to me

And it starts up to sing me this song

Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes

But you never quite learned the song she sang

I can tell by the sadness in your eyes

That you never quite learned the song

Every day when the sun go down and the evening is so very still

Many a fine girl I've held in my arms and I hope there's many more that I will

But just when everything is goin' fine and absolutely nothing is wrong

This funny little hedgehog's always around

And every time he wants to sing me this song

Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes

But you never quite learned the song she sang

I can tell by the sadness in your eyes

That you never quite learned the song

One day when the moon was full I thought I might settle down

Find myself a pretty little girl and I stopped all my runnin' around

But just when the preacher come along and he's just gonna pop on the ring

This funny little hedgehog comes runnin' down the aisle

And I don't have to tell you what he did sing

Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes

But you never quite learned the song she sang

I can tell by the sadness in your eyes

That you never quite learned the song

I'm not the kind to complain that I never had a girl to love

Many a fine girl I tried hard to know but I think I never tried enough

But now I'll be lookin' all my days and it isn't just me I gotta please

There's this funny little hedgehog who's always around

And the only words he ever sings to me are these

Oh, you know all the words and you sung all the notes

But you never quite learned the song she sang

I can tell by the sadness in your eyes

That you never quite learned the song

I'm not the kind to complain
