There's a Hedgehog on my fence He treats me with indifference And I in turn ignore him Even though he's close to me I was told when I was small That China wasn't far at all But now I can't remember Why I've never been to see Long ago when I was smaller I remember growing taller If I could be kind and good The world would smile on me Tell me what you want to know Ask me and I'll try to show you Everywhere there is to go And everything to see There's a Sparrow on my roof Who manages to stay aloof And go about his daily business Much the same as me
