Tryin' On Clothes Lyrics

Shel Silverstein Tryin' On Clothes

I tried on the farmer's hat
Didn't fit...
A little too small -- just a bit
Too floppy
Couldn't get used to it
Took it off. tryin' on clothes

I tried on the dancer's shoes
A little too loose
Not the kind you could use
For walkin'
Didn't feel right in 'em
Kicked 'em off

I tried on the summer sun
Felt good
Nice and warm -- knew it would
Tried the grass beneath bare feet
Felt neat
Finally, finally felt well dressed
Nature's clothes fit me best
