Round bales of hay, round bales of hay
Some mornings I waken and why am I thinking of
Round bales of hay
All of my thinking while yet I am blinking goes:
Round bales of hay
At breakfast, bowl and spoon are clinking:
Round bales of hay
And as the orange juice I am drinking,
Round bales of hay, round bales of hay. Remarkable!
Round bales of hay, Round bales of hay
Some days the only words I say are:
Round bales of hay.
Round bales of hay, Round bales of hay
Has the whole world gone hi-jinking?
Round bales of hay
Everyone I meet is winking:
Round bales of hay.
On bedlam I believe I'm brinking
Round bales of hay
My universe is surly shrinking
Round bales of hay
Round bales of hay
Round bales of hay
Why do you sit and stare that way, you
Round bales of hay?
Well, say it if you have something to say, you
Round hales of bay, or rather,
Bound hales of ray
I mean, brown rails of I mean..
Say! Bale me up, wheel me away
I'll say no other words today
Close the window, just halfway
I like the fragrance, strange to say.
Would you send supper on a tray?
Some broth, perhaps, or consomme.
A little rest, I'll be okay.
Just keep those round hay bales at bay.
