Holly The Hedgehog

(album: Songs From Alphabet Zoo - 1983)

Holly the Hedgehog, Holly the Hedgehog
Nobody wants to sleep with her
She's got prickles scratching and they tickle
All the other animals that have got fur

She went to sleep with Rabbit
But he couldn't stand it
'Wake up Holly this will not do
You tickle and you crush me
You prickle and you squash me
Somebody else must sleep with you'

Holly the Hedgehog, Holly the Hedgehog
Nobody wants to sleep with her
She's got prickles scratching and they tickle
All the other animals that have got fur

She went to sleep with Dormouse
Couldn't stay at her house
'Wake up Holly this will not do
You tickle and you crush me
You prickle and you squash me
Somebody else must sleep with you'

Holly the Hedgehog, Holly the Hedgehog
Nobody wants to sleep with her
She's got prickles scratching and they tickle
All the other animals that have got fur

Dormouse and Rabbit said they couldn't stand it
'Wake up Holly this will not do!
You tickle and you crush me
You prickle and you squash me
Somebody else must sleep with you'

Holly the Hedgehog, slept in the back shed
The brooms and the brushes they didn't complain
Wrapped in a pound note like a paper overcoat
Out of the way of the wind and rain
