Jane Siberry The Very Large Hat Lyrics

The Very Large Hat Lyrics

in the summertime 
on the sidewalk here 
I see a nickel. well, I ...  
I guess I`m happening  
 
is there ... is there something special 
you`d like me to buy you? 
in bold colours, maybe? 
anything you like 
you can be happening, too  
 
good to go crazy just to go 
good to go crazy just to show 
that we`re alive (and that we know)  
 
it takes two days to get there by train 
two days! two days to get there by boat 
it takes forever if you go by inertia 
no time if you don`t believe in time  
 
good to go crazy just to go 
good to go just to go 
life is a big place 
makes me wonder 
makes me want to know  
 
lots of legs and lots of arms 
a tray ... a tray of beer goes sailing by 
up there somewhere 
a great band is playing 
they`re hot - everybody`s hot 
everybody`s dancing tonight  
 
would you say this is high enough? no. 
what about that ... is that better? no. 
stand on my shoulders... 
any improvement? 
okay, okay - what can we try?  
the only thing left is... 
to maybe...fly higher...higher... bye!!  
 
summer in the Yukon in the land of the midnight sun 
nuggets hit the counter 
would you like a beer? 
I`ll buy this round  
 
it`s the top...it`s the top of the world up here 
is it high enough for you 
"I want to take you higher" 
have you...uh... 
decided yet about the hat?  
 
life is a big place 
makes me wonder 
makes me want to know
