1. The Gypsy Song (I Sniff the Rose) [01:59]

Performed by: Boober (as the Old Gypsy Lady) and the Fraggles

You call on me.
You cry "Gypsy!".
You sing your magic tune.
You croon the words I've only heard,
Beneath the gypsy moon.

There is no secret to my song.
A gypsy's life is pain.
So when I need a song to sing,
I simply feel again.

I sniff the rose,
 I sniff the rose,
That quickly grows.
 Which quickly grows.
I taste the rain,
 I taste the rain,
It's gone again.
 It's gone again.
I kiss a friend,
 I kiss a friend,
Who leaves me then.
 Who leaves me then.
I'm all alone.
 I'm all alone again.

You look at me and think that, gee, that gypsy's free,
To dance and sing be anything she choose.
It's not that way. I've had to pay.
The more you get the more you seem to lose.

I sniff the rose.
 I sniff the rose.
It quickly grows.
 It quickly grows.
I taste the rain.
 I taste the rain.
It's gone again.
 It's gone again.
I kiss a friend,
 I kiss a friend,
Who leaves me then.
 Who leaves me then.
I'm all alone.
 I'm all alone again.

To sing my song,
 To sing my song,
All night long,
 All night long,
All alone.
 All alone again.
(repeat)
