Hi would anyone be so kind as to post the lyrics for the devotional song "Vinayagane Vinay Theerpavane"

I have the song but it is difficult to identify some of the lyrics.

Thank you kindly

lakshmanji,
Is it 'vEda mukhattOnE' or 'vEzha mukhattonE"?

I thought so too. vEzha mugattOn is elephant faced. I wondered if he was seen as the essence of vEdam, so did not comment on it.
Composer?

Some minor corrections

umApatiyE ulagam enrAi oru shuTrinilE *valamum vandAi*
gaNanAthanE *mAng-kaniyai venRAi* kadir vElavanin karuttil ninrAi

The last 2 lines refer to the incident of Ganesha winning the mango in the contest of who circumambulates the universe first.
