- my hedge - hog,

just look at him sleep in his safe lit - tle nook, I'm tend - ing my hedge - hog, and feed

guard - ing my hedge - hog His en - er - gy's low, but I like it that way, I'm lov - ing my hedge - hog,

27

he lays in his cage and he calls it a day and don't you know? He's smart. And

32

don't you know he ap pre - ci - ates me with all his hedge - hog heart? And when he grows up, he'llbe safe

37

'cause of me... My hed - gie, ee ee ee ee is eas - y to please, my

hed - gie, ee ee ee ee, he nev - er talks back. I'm mind - ing my hedge - hog,

48

he prob - ably is queas - y from eat - ing too much, I'm nurs - ing my hedge - hog

52

his spir - it is warm, but he's cold to the touch, but don't you know? He's shy. And

57

don't you know that he plays hard to get? My lit - tle sleep - y guy, 'cause yes - ter - day's love must have worked

62

up a sweat... My hed - gie, ee ee ee ee is eas - y to please, my

68

hed - gie, ee ee ee ee, he nev - er talks back. I'm pok - ing my hedge hog

73

just so he knows that I'm do - ing o - kay, I'm pok - ing my hedge - hog. I'm

77

pok - ing my hedge - hog. I'm pok - ing my hedge - hog. This is a pop - u - lar game that we play! And don't you know? He's

Back in time,
happy

87 Out of time, kind of annoyed

ing his life, I won't put up a fight... ...but it would be pol - ite to bite or show he's al- right. But my
