The Girl In The Little Green Hat 1933

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Jun 2004

Listen to the breezes in the treeses,
Harken to the grass upon the lawn,
listen to the mices in the pantry,
harken to the breaking of the dawn.
Ooh! Ooh! Heavens Above!
Aah! Aah! I'm in love
Harken to the breaking of the dawn.

There's a lake in the park,
there's a house by the lake,
there's a girl in the house
in the park by the lake,
and the girl in the house
by the lake in the park,
is the girl in the little green hat
and tonight after eight,
that's when I've got a date,
when the moon's riding high
and the stars light the sky,
with the girl in the house
by the lake in the park,
is the girl in the little green hat.
There's no water in the lake,
there's no roof upon the house,
no treeses in the park at all,
but she'll wait beside the lake,
I'll be welcome at her house,
I'll meet her by the garden wall.
There's a ship on the lake,
there's a sailor on the shore,
there's a girl in his arms,
she's the girl I adore,
so goodbye to the house
by the lake in the park,
and the girl in the little green hat.

There's a storm in the lake,
there's a ship in the storm,
there's a girl on the ship
in the storm on the lake,
and the girl on the lake
on the ship in the storm,
is the girl in the little green hat
as the ship starts to dip,
she is losing her grip,
ev'ry dip makes her tip,
not the girl but the ship,
but the girl on the ship
has the pip from the trip,
the girl in the little green hat.
She's been sailing quite enough,
she's been clinging to the rail,
she's dying to be home once more,
'cause the lake is rather rough
and the girl is rather pale,
she's glad to get her feet on shore.
Ah, she gave up the ship,
and the Captain and his men,
for a round ticket trip,
to my arms once again,
now I'm back in the park
at the house by the lake,
with the girl in the little green hat.
