Hurdy‐Gurdy Man Songtext
von Jimmy Dorsey

You′re just a hoity-toity man
Doin' the best you can
You came by each day
And the songs you play
I love them hoity-toity men
Some people say you don′t belong
I know they must be wrong
Let them be unkind
You pay them no mind
Just play on, hoity-toity man
'Cause the monkey on the string
Makes the kiddies laugh and sing
Ring around the roses


See them as they dance about
Hear them gaily laugh and shout
A pocketful of posies
You're just a hoity-toity man
Doin′ the best you can
You were meant to be
You′re content to be
Just a hoity-toity man
'Cause the monkey on the string
Why don′t he pluck that thing?
As they dance about
Hear them gaily shout
With a pocketful of posies
