The Very Large Hat Lyrics - Jane Siberry

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
