Lyrics Hoppy's Gone - Roger Miller

Hoppy's Gone

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
