Organ grinder, organ grinder,

Organ grinder, play that melody

Take your organ, grinder, and grind some more for me



Grind it north, grind it north,

Grind it north, grind it east or west,

But when you grind it slow, that's when I like it best



Organ grinder, organ grinder,

You don't have to pass your hat around any more

Cause you're just the grinder I've been waitin' for



Organ grinder, organ grinder,

your sweet music seems to ease my mind

It's not only your organ, but it's the way you grind



Organ grinder, organ grinder,

organ grinder, you've found that sweet lost chord

Start grindin', and grind your room and board



Organ grinder, organ grinder,

Organ grinder, don't tell me you're through

Cause if you want a little intermission,

then mama's gonna grind a while for you



Organ grinder, organ grinder,

Organ grinder, I will give you anything you choose

If you'll just cure my organ, of those grinding blues
