This And That

Now what would I wear
if we didn't have hats
I guess I'd try wearing
this and that

if hats weren't around
then what would I do
to cover my head
what else could I use

well I tried wearing cheese
from the fridge that is near
but all the cheese melted 
and stuck in my ear

I pulled up my shirt
way over my top
but it covered my eyes
and I couldn't see to walk

I tried an old sack
I pulled down to my ears
but it got stuck inside
so I couldn't hear

I tried a soup bowl
the biggest I had
but when I ate soup
I swallowed a hair

I tried an old sock
I had thrown in a pile
but boy did it stink
and it stunk up my hair

I tried my left shoe
from the pair that I wear
but I walk awful funny
when that left  foot is bare

I sat a big book
split down on my top
it seemed to work fine
but I didn't look smart

I tried an old bucket
I thought what an idea
but I looked like a monster
and they all ran in fear

I wore a brown stocking
I found in a drawer
but was tight on my face
and it made my nose sore

so you see how important
is a thing like a hat
as it sure beats wearing
this and that

and I'm glad they make
all kinds of hats
so YOU won't have to try wearing
this and that
