Text: Jane Siberry. The Very Large Hat.
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 colors, 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
