They Might Be Giants
Hovering Sombrero
[Verse 1]
Hey, hovering sombrero
Gently waving in the air above the meadow
Softly floating in the sky outside the window
Hovering sombrero, don't be shy
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be shy
Don't be terrified
[Chorus]
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero
[Verse 2]
Time is flying like an arrow
And the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow
And it makes the pages of the calendar go
Flying out the window one by one
[Verse 3]
'Til a hundred years are on the front lawn
And the old familiar things are mostly all gone
But the old sombrero just keeps hovering on
Hovering sombrero, hover on
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't be burdened by regrets
Or make your failures an obsession
Or become embittered or possessed
By ruined hopes, remember
[Chorus]
When you take yourself for granted
Feel rejected and unwanted
Know you're never just a hat
You're never only just a hat, you know
Hovering sombrero
Hovering sombrero
