[Verse 1] I found a hat in a parking lot It had one feather and a coffee spot I wore it home through the grocery rain And the whole aisle smiled like I knew my name [Verse 2] There was a dog with a tiny red shoe Chasing a ball like it owed him two He barked at a bus, then bowed to a tree Like the world was a joke he was in on with me [Pre-Chorus] And I said, hey Maybe that’s enough A crooked little day Can still feel tough [Chorus] Cardboard umbrella Holding back the sky Cardboard umbrella Keeps my funny life alive When it all tips over I just laugh and swing it high Cardboard umbrella Baby, we’re alright [Verse 3] My phone rang once with a wrong number song Somebody said, “Hello?” then the line went long I kept that little mistake in my head Like a seed in the seams of a broken bread [Pre-Chorus] And I said, hey Maybe that’s enough A crooked little day Can still feel tough [Chorus] Cardboard umbrella Holding back the sky Cardboard umbrella Keeps my funny life alive When it all tips over I just laugh and swing it high Cardboard umbrella Baby, we’re alright [Bridge] [Half-time] If the rain comes in sideways If the plan falls through I’ll still be grinning Walking back to you [Final Chorus] Cardboard umbrella Holding back the sky Cardboard umbrella Keeps my funny life alive When it all tips over I just laugh and swing it high Cardboard umbrella Baby, we’re alright (Cardboard umbrella) (Cardboard umbrella)
