hurly durly dup
am I but a dump?
am I but a dump?
to the king's door I went
and so many days I spent
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
instead of letting me in
in prison I was kept in
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
searched for charges afore
but found nothing I've done before
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
my only charge was to be
I'm so bound to poverity
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
so running I had to go
and living as an outlaw
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
the golden throne I saw
with a fat man holds the law
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
oh my that was the king
so busy that he forgot to ding
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
his face was so so awful
for the mirror I was sorrowful
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
with my sword in hand
over his neck I had a stand
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
instead of shouting
he got on laughing!
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
without waiting more
my sword made him sore
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
shouting for his guards
can not be in advance
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
for his eternal foolishness
he thought me barber of his holiness
Hurly durly dup
Hurly durly dup
the king was so dump!
the king was so dump!
