Straw Hat Song Songtext
von Desi Arnaz

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 pretty soon your troubles will come to an end
Because you simply will not see it, my friend
To visualize permanent sun in the skies
Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

Buy a sombrero
A big straw sombrero
Sí, señoras y señores
A big straw sombrero


And when the landlord tells you the rent′s in arrears
Just put a big straw hat over your ears
You'll never hear the dialogue, tragically grim
If you just push your ears under the brim

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 pretty soon your troubles will come to an end
Because you will not see or hear ′em, my friend
To visualize permanent sun in the skies
Just put a big straw hat over your eyes

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 pretty soon your troubles will come to an end
Because you will not see or hear 'em, my friend
To visualize permanent sun in the skies
Just put a big straw hat down, big straw hat down over your eyes
