An old straw hat

Harry Revel / Mack Gordon

What is all this dizzy busy hustling for
People running helter-skelter on their way
What is all this hazy crazy bustling for
No time to notice it's a sunny day

Why don't you take a vacation
Looks like you've got to have relaxation
Aw, come on, forget your troubles for a while
Why don't you try to feel like I do?

If I had one wish to make
This is the wish I would choose
I'd want an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Just let me roam around
Laughing at big city blues
With an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes

Howdy Mister Brown!
Ho-hum!
Goin' fishin'? Hope you get a bite!
Howdy Mister Jones!
Ho-hum!
How's about a hay ride Saturday night?

Sing hi-ho the merri-o!
What've you got, what've you got to lose
Get an old straw hat
A suit of overalls
And a worn out pair of shoes
