Straw Hat Song

Whenever Old Man Trouble makes trouble arise

Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

You'll never see the circumstance making you frown

If you just push your eyes under the crown

Life can be a simple thing

A simple thing to laugh and sing

Get yourself a hat of straw and put it on

Don't take it off

And pretty soon your troubles will come to an end

Because you simply will not see it, my friend

To visualize permanent sun in the skies

Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

Buy a sombrero

A big straw sombrero

Sí, señoras y señores

A big straw sombrero

And when the landlord tells you the rent's in arrears

Just put a big straw hat over your ears

You'll never hear the dialogue, tragically grim

If you just push your ears under the brim

Life can be a simple thing

A simple thing to laugh and sing

Get yourself a hat of straw and put it on

Don't take it off

And pretty soon your troubles will come to an end

Because you will not see or hear 'em, my friend

To visualize permanent sun in the skies

Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

Life can be a simple thing

A simple thing to laugh and sing

Get yourself a hat of straw and put it on

Don't take it off

And pretty soon your troubles will come to an end

Because you will not see or hear 'em, my friend

To visualize permanent sun in the skies

Just put a big straw hat down, big straw hat down over your eyes
