[Verse 1]
He came into town with his mandolin
Calling all the people, and they came to him

[Chorus]
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"

[Verse 2]
They laughed at him with his mandolin
They left him there with his funny grin

[Chorus]
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"

[Verse 3]
The children of the town then came to him
Magically called with his mandolin

[Chorus]
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"

[Verse 4]
They smiled at him with his mandolin
Their eyes like his were sparklin'
[Chorus]
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"
They said, "D'ya wanna hear all that's pretty?"
They said, "D'ya wanna hear all that's nice?"

[Outro]
La-la, la-la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la, la
La-la, la-la, la, la
