stephen sondheim - a bowler hat lyrics

Loading...

(kayama picks up a derby.)

[verse 1:]
[kayama]
it’s called a bowler hat
i have no wife
the swallow flying through the sky
is not as swift as i
am, flying through my life
you pour the milk before the tea
the dutch amb-ssador is no fool
i must remember that

[verse 2:]
i wear a bowler hat
they send me wine
the house is far too grand
i’ve bought a new umbrella stand
today i visited the church beside the shrine
i’m learning english from a book
most exciting
it’s called a bowler hat

[verse 3:]
(kayama brings out a watch.)

it’s called a pocket watch
i have a wife
no eagle flies against the sky
as eagerly as i
have flown against my life
one smokes american cigars
the dutch amb-ssador was most rude
i will remember that

[verse 4:]
i wind my pocket watch
we serve white wine
the house is far too small
i k!lled a spider on the wall
one of the servants thought it was a lucky sign
i read spinoza every day
formidable
where is my bowler hat?

[verse 5:]
(kayama puts a monocle to his eye.)

it’s called a monocle
i’ve left my wife
no bird exploring in the sky
explores as well as i
the corners of my life
one must keep moving with the times
the dutch amb-ssador is a fool
he wears a bowler hat

[verse 6:]
(kayama puts on a pair of gl-sses.)

they call them spectacles
i drink much wine
i take important pills
i have a house up in the hills
i’ve hired british architects to redesign
one must accommodate the times
as one lives them
one must remember that

(kayama holds up a tailcoat.)

it’s called a cutaway
