A tone-deaf young minstrel was knockin’ her door
Hurray boys, hurray, come around
To court her with love songs as oft times before
Hurray boys, hurray, come around

On top of the world
And in love with a girl
You’re the man in control of the universe
Don’t get sad all at once
When you get no response 
There still might be some love for you in her

He sang her a song full of love and embrace
Hurray boys, hurray, come around
Not impressed, couldn’t care less ‘bout that door in his face
Hurray boys, hurray, come around

In love with the world
And on top of a girl
You’re the man in control of the universe
Don’t get sad all at once
When you get no response 
There still might be some love for you in her 

And is he a fool who keeps coming for more
Though time and again he gets the slam of a door
Well, the winner will turn out to be in the end
The loser who tried and tried again

No way he’s gonna leave without you
No way he’s gonna live without you
No way you’re gonna get out of here and walk away
