Hoppy's Gone - Roger Miller

Hang it up boys

Yesterdays and dreams and matinees

Like tinker toys they fell apart today

Well almost anyway Hoppy’s gone

Bed em down boys

Put your cowboy boots and guns away

The broomstick horse just up and died today

And so did Saturdays Hoppy’s gone

Rock-a-bye yesterday

Winds blow and cradles will fall

And down comes the curtain

And all of a lifetime of memories live on

Hoppy’s gone boys Hoppy’s gone

Hang it up boys

Yesterdays and dreams and matinees

Like tinker toys they fell apart today

Best just let it lay Hoppy’s gone

Rock-a-bye yesterday

Winds blow and cradles will fall
