Poor Robinson Crusoe
He wanted to woo so

Poor Robinson Crusoe
Ooh. Poor Robinson Crusoe
Now no one needed a gal like he did
He wanted to woo so

His faithful man Friday
Kept everything tidy
But yet he sighed for some hi-de-ho-o-o
Poor old Robinson Crusoe

He owned that island
No need to buy land
He lived in style and
Still he wasn’t satisfied

To heaven he cried
Please, Lordy, send me a bride
I’ll take her with or without a trousseau
Said Robinson Crusoe
