The Alan Parsons Project - Little Hans

Lead Vocal: Graham Dye



Little Hans, little Hans, what do you see?

The worlds is full of big surprises

Little Hans, little Hans, what can they be?

They come in many shapes and sizes



Little boys always love to play

But something is not quite right

Little Hans won't come out today

He's scared of a horse that might bite



Little Hans, little Hans, what can it be?

Your thoughts are filled with such confusion

Little Hans, little Hans when will you see?

You're barking up the wrong conclusion



Professor man asks him oh so nicely

Why will you not come out?

Little Hans tells him most politely

What he is thinking about



A ride in a tram, a lily white lamb, raspberry jam

Little Hans, little Hans, where will you go?

The world is full of compromises

Little Hans, little Hans, how will you know?

The come in many strange disguises



Professor man shakes his head and wonders

How will he work it out?

Little Hans tells him quite precisely

What he's been dreaming about



I jump in the bath, I make myself laugh, I ride a giraffe



Little Hans, little Hans, I found a clue

I think I've made the right connection

Little Hans, little Hans, all I can do

Is give a common sense injection



Little boys grow up just like daddy

Professor man has no doubt

Little Hans goes to sleep and wonders

What he was talking about
