A tone-deaf young minstrel was knockin’ her door Hurray boys, hurray, come around To court her with love songs as oft times before Hurray boys, hurray, come around
On top of the world And in love with a girl You’re the man in control of the universe Don’t get sad all at once When you get no response There still might be some love for you in her
He sang her a song full of love and embrace Hurray boys, hurray, come around Not impressed, couldn’t care less ‘bout that door in his face Hurray boys, hurray, come around
In love with the world And on top of a girl You’re the man in control of the universe Don’t get sad all at once When you get no response There still might be some love for you in her
And is he a fool who keeps coming for more Though time and again he gets the slam of a door Well, the winner will turn out to be in the end The loser who tried and tried again
No way he’s gonna leave without you No way he’s gonna live without you No way you’re gonna get out of here and walk away
