Lyrics Jane Siberry

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
