Sylvie's Hat from Reverse Rewind by Tess Callaghan

Sylvie's Hat

Confidence she was born with
Finding what she likes
Today she’s got her hat on
She’ll tell you straight outright

What she likes and treasures
She don’t care who hears
Sylvie’s got her hat on
With ribbons pastel silk

Sylvie’s got her hat on
That pretty music sound
Sylvie’s got her hat on
She makes them up
And she takes them down

Stop mamma do you hear it
That pretty music sound
So mamma takes her purse out
She carries all around

Sylvie’s hand’s outstretched
Hovering purposefully
Her hat it has a bow
Tied so prettily

Sylvie’s got her hat on
With ribbons pastel silk
Sylvie's got her hat on
Her moma spins her still
Sylvie's got her hat on
Sandcastles in the cloud
Sylvie's got her hat on
She makes a joyful jump

That pretty music sound
Yeah she really likes it
And momma spins her round
She really likes it
The one her grandma wore
And her momma too
It should be out of fashion
Worn because she wants to

Flat just like a boater
Straw or something like
As they say goodbye
I hear Sylvie saying

Sylvie’s got her hat on
With ribbons pastel silk
Sylvie's got her hat on
Her momma spins her still
Sylvie's got her hat on
Sandcastles in the cloud
Sylvie's got her hat on
Her momma spins her round

Sylvie's got her hat on
That pretty music sound
Sylvie's got her hat on
Her momma spins her round, round
Sylvie's got her hat on
Sandcastles in the sky
Sylvies got her hat on
She takes it off and waves goodbye
