Neil Finn
Hazel Black
Hazel, the gypsy
And I, we go walking
Eyes perfectly matching
Despite our different takes

Had no shoes
Just bruises and opinions on
Living it up neck and neck
On simplicity stakes

Why didn't I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from?
Oh, it wasn't a tactic

Why didn't she jinx me
Like a Gypsy Rose Lee should?
Oh, maybe she was distracted
Oh, she wasn't a bad kid

Summer in the valley
On the hot stone alley that
Cut a hole through the house
From the front to the back

Little did I know
Who was coming over
To the place with the gate
That welcomed Hazel Black
Why didn't I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from?
Oh, it wasn't a tactic

Why didn't she jinx me
Like a Gypsy Rose Lee should?
Oh, maybe she was distracted

Why didn't I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from?
Oh, she wasn't a tactic

Why didn't she jinx me
Like a Gypsy Rose Lee should?
Oh, maybe she was distracted
Yeah

Why didn't I ask her
Where she came from
Got her name from?
Oh, maybe she was distracted

Oh, Hazel Black
She was Hazel Black
