Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah



You're feeling sad and you look down the street
There's a hurdy gurdy man with no shoes to his feet

But a smile on his face as his head turns your way
And the hurdy gurdy's playing and it seems to say
She loves you, go and find her

And then never ever leave her

Now he's old and he's tired and his hair is grey

And his mind's full of dreams, all far far away
As he looks up at you there are tears in your eyes
And the hurdy gurdy's playing as you realise

How you love her, and you need her
Go and find her, never leave her


Can't you see it's all around us
Happiness seems to surround us
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah


Children laughing in a busy fairground
There's a hurdy gurdy playing a familiar sound

And she looks up at me and we know what it means
What the old man was thinking in his land full of dreams
How I love her, and I need her

And I'll never ever leave her

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah

Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah
Ruppa-pah-pah-pah, ruppa-pah-pah.
