The Hedgehog Is Song - The Incredible String Band

作词：Mike Heron

作曲：Mike Heron

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

Sitting one day by myself

And I'm thinking what could be wrong

When this funny little hedgehog comes running 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 going 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

Found myself a pretty little girl

And I stopped all my running around

But just when the preacher come along

And he's just gonna pop on the ring

This funny little hedgehog comes running 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 fine girls I've tried hard to know

But I think I never tried enough

But now I'll be looking all my days

And it isn't just me I got to 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
