They say
This prarie schooner
Cutting through
Waves of green or golden wheat
On a sea of rolling hills
She shines up
A sunny day
Butt Ugly comes out to play
When fishin' 'n mowin'
The cap'n's hat
she be know'n as
Butt Ugly

She was a State Fair special
A souvenir
Of western persuasion
Faux straw woven
Wire in her trim
She looked jaunty and sharp
The day she was new
Butt ugly comes out to play
When fishin' 'n mowin'
The cap'n's hat
she be know'n as
Butt Ugly

Butt Ugly
Been in the drink
Once or twice
And crushed more than just
A time or two
She wears her rumple rugged
Pulled down low in front
Ringed with a drawstring
To hang around the neck
When the wind be blowin'
The cap'n's hat
She be know'n as
Butt Ugly

I am thinking about this one, But I just can¡¦t imagine what the metaphors could be, like who is Captain Ugly?  There is a hat, maybe a lawn mower,¡K maybe I just need to think about, look at it again, maybe think about it some more, maybe ¡K ¡K Hmmm
I really wanna enter your world.ļ
Maybe it should have been: do it WITH other and they will do it WITH you?

Sorry for the confusion.  Butt Ugly is the name of my hat. It is like a Captain's hat to me, figuratively speaking (Prarie schooner is the name for the covered wagons back in the day that used their canvas covers like sails to cross the prarie.) ebm
