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 when the landlord tells you the rent's in arrears
A big straw hat over your ears
You'll never hear the dialog tragically grim
If you just push your ears under the brim
So life can be a simple thing
A simple thing 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
