Текст песни 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 colours, 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
