"A Funny Man" lyrics - DONOVAN

One day a funny kind of man
Came walking down the street
He wore a shoe upon his head
And hats upon his feet
He raised the shoe and smiled at me
His manners were polite
But never had I seen before
Such a funny sounding sight

He said, "allow me to present
Your highness with a rose"
And taking out a currant bun
He held it to my nose
I staggered back against the wall
And then I answered, "well
I never saw a rose with such
A funny looking smell"

He then began to sing a song
And sat down on the ground
You never heard in all your life
Such a funny feeling sound
"My friend, why do you wear two hats
Upon your feet?", I said
He turned the other way about
And hopped home on his head
