Make Hay

Pere Ubu

Compositor: Allen Ravenstine / David Thomas / Scott Krauss / Tom Herman / Tony Maimone

Why is it so hard?
I try, and I try,
and I try,
and it's so hard.
Why is it so hard?
Make hay while the sun shines,
make hay while it shines.
See where the time goes.
See how it slips away.

I put its little coat on,
and tie its shoes,
and send it out the door, off to school.
I send it on its merry way to you.
Whooosh! My heart goes out to you.
Buup Buup-buup buup!
My heart goes out to you.
Does it seem strange?
Mark this day,
mark this day well.
See where the time goes.
See how it slips away.

Tomorrow,
tomorrow is another day.
Tomorrow,
tomorrow's another day.
(God willing another day.)
I'll get up early,
and I'll wake you up.
I live in hope.
I live in hope,
Live in hope, too.
Make hay while the sun shines,
make hay while it shines.
See where the time goes.
See how it slips away.
Mark this day.
