Early one Tuesday
While out for a stroll
Peter the walrus
Met Robby the mole
And Robby said "Howdy"
And Peter said "Hey"
And neither could think of
Something better to say
So they stood there awhile
They stood in deep thought
Until Peter took his hat
And said "Look what I've got
I bought it in Norway
While on a long cruise
That's the same day I first saw
A sheep wearing shoes
We met on the boat
And I asked him if he
Could take off his shoes
And give them to me
I told him 'I'm tired
And feeling so hot
And my feet need some shade,
Shade that your feet need not'
And he gave me this look
And, slowly, he said
'Your feet don't look nearly
As hot as your head
Your head is all sweaty
All sweaty and red
You should really do something
About your poor head'
And I asked him, 'O sheep,
What to do about that?'
And then he suggested
That I buy me a hat
I thought it all through
And I said, 'That sounds great.'
And I bought me some hats
I bought no less than eight
This particular hat
That I'm wearing right now
Is my favorite hat
And I will tell you how
I found this grand hat.
'Twas just about dusk
When I noticed a man
Who smelled strongly of musk
He was wearing a coat
That was yellow and green
And the ugliest rain boots
That I've ever seen
And he wore on his head
A most beautiful cap
And, there as I watched him,
He started to nap
Well, I just couldn't let
Such a hat go to waste
Being worn by a man
With such terrible taste
