I Need Air

By Richard Kiley and Chorus
On album The Little Prince

The Little Prince
(Man)
It's a hat, it's a hat
It's a sort of a kind of hat
Painted poorly, but it surely
Is a hat

(Woman)
it's a hat, it's a hat
there's no doubt of it, it's a hat
Top of pauper
It is proper habitat

(Man 2)
My oh my, look at that
Why this dummy has drawn a hat

(All)
It's a hat, it's a hat
If it's anything it's a hat

(Woman 2)
Why it's nothing
But a common Himalayan
Mountain hat

(Man 3)
It's a hat that looks
Like down upon
Which someone must have sat

(Woman 3)
Not Picasso
Or Coreaux
But a very nice chapeaux

(Man 4)
Are you kiddin'
It's a hat, you silly brat

(Pilot)
Every grown-up was the same
Uniformly they'd exclaim

(All)
It's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat!

(Pilot)
I could see it wasn't worth
Spending time with them on earth
There were fewer in the sky
I decided I would fly!

(All)
It's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat, it's a hat!

(Pilot)
I need air
Where only stars get in my hair
And only eagles stop and stare
I need air

Oh the world is mad
And I have had my share
I need air
I need air!

I need air
While out of mortal wear and tear
Gives my morale morale de mere

Any corner lot that Heaven's got to spare
I need air!

I need air
There's not a sign of life down there
Just hats and grown-ups everywhere
I need air

Lots of cozy sky that God and I can share
I need air

I need air!
