Lyrics

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
