Hat's Darkened Tune

(scratching vinyl sound) (shhhh,

listen)

The rain

was pouring,

cold and gray

We sat

inside with nothing

to play

Then a knock

at the door,

a shadow

so tall

A striped

red hat

against the wall

(coughing,

dry laugh)

Look at the cat,

look at the hat

He's got a box,

what is inside of that?

Don't let him in,

don't let him stay He'll take your happy

days away

Thing One and Thing Two are out of the box They're running

wild, they're picking the locks Their fingers are cold,

their eyes are too wide There's nowhere left for us to hide (shhhhh)

Look

at the cat,

look at the hat

He's got a box,

what is inside of that?

Don't let him in,

don't let him stay

He'll take your happy days away

He's standing right behind you (giggle)
