Make Hay - Pere Ubu

What is it?

What is it?

I try, I try, I try

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

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

Booosh!

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

God willing, another day

I get up early and I’ll wake you up, too

I live in hope.

Live in hope

Make hay while the sun shines

Make hay while it shines

See where the time goes

See how it slips away

Mark this day

Mark this day
