The Straw Hat Song
Whenever Old Man Trouble makes trouble arise Life can be simple thin' And when the landlord tells you the rent's in arrears Aba ariba yep So life can be a simple thin'
Just put on a big straw hat over your eyes
You'll never see the circumstance makin' you frown
If you just push your eyes under the crown
A simple thin'
To laugh and sing
Get yourself a hat of straw
And put it on, don't take it off
A big straw hat over your ears
You'll never hear the dialog tragically grim
If you just push your ears under the brim
Aba, aba very good Maggie
A simple thin' to laugh and sing
Get yourself a hat of straw
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 it my friend
To visualize permanent sun in the skies
Just put a big straw hat, big straw hat over your eyes!
