The Hat
Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller
Where'd you get a lid like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that
Hey old chap where'd you get the cap
Where'd you get a cap like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that
Oh a hat is a hat
A topper is a topper and you can't top that
So if you got the bread I say
Why not spend it on something for your head
Hey Herby where'd you get the derby
Where'd you get a hat like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that
Oh a hat is a hat
A topper is a topper and you can't top that
So if you got the bread I say
Why not spend it on something for your head
Hey Miss let me ask you this
Where'd you get a hat like that
If I told you why would you tell me where
I could find a hat like that
