lyrics

When he was a boy
He'd fill his mouth with most unusual toys
It brought his friends much merriment and joy
A skill he wondered how to best employ
School was not for he
He couldn't find a suitable degree
And so he chose to seek celebrity
He dreamt about the...

Fame and fortune, trips to the moon, silver teaspoons
He was a household name soon!

Hedgehog Swallower, fame and followers, toothbrush borrower
Night time novelty, came from poverty, courts controversy

Now a man of note
Forever putting hedgehogs down his throat
For which he became known across the globe
But seldom did he galavant or gloat
From time to time he'd say
I never chose to live my life this way
But now he's got a house and bills to pay
It's surely worth the...

Inflammation, dehydration, perspiration
Treks across the nation

Hedgehog Swallower, fame and followers, toothbrush borrower
Night time novelty, came from poverty, courts controversy

For a change of pace
He took a job that came without disgrace
But the memories were not erased
He missed the fame, the wealth and the taste
In life we often find
It's difficult to leave our past behind
But when he gets a chance to speak his mind
He'll tell you about his...

Former glories, hedgehog stories, grand and gory
Problems respiratory

Hedgehog Swallower, fame and followers, toothbrush borrower
He's a night time novelty, came from poverty, courts controversy
