Where Did You Get That Hat?

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Now how I came to get this hat,
'tis very strange and funny,

Grandfather died and left to me
his property and money;

And when the Will it was read out,
they told me straight and flat,

If I would have his money
I must always wear his hat!

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one,
and just the proper style?

I should like to have one
just the same as that!

Where e'er I go they shout:
"Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

If I go to the Op'ra House,
in the op'ra season,

There's someone sure to shout at me
without the slightest reason.

If I go to a Concert Hall
to have a joyful spree,

There's someone in the party
who is sure to shout at me.

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one
and just the proper style?

I should like to have one
just the same as that!

Where e'er I go they shout:
"Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

At twenty one I thought I would
to my sweetheart get married:

The people in the neighbourhood
had said too long we'd tarried

So off to church we went right quick
determined to get wed:

I had not long been in there
when the parson to me said:

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one
and just the proper style?

I should like to have one
just the same as that!

Where e'er I go they shout:
"Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

I once tried hard to be M.P.
but failed to get elected.

Upon a tub I stood round which
a thousand folks collected.

And I had dodged the eggs and bricks
(which was no easy task),

When one man cried,
"A question I the candidate would ask!"

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one
and just the proper style?

I should like to have one
just the same as that!

Where e'er I go they shout:
"Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

When Colonel South, the millionaire,
gave his last garden party,

I was amongst the guests
who had a welcome true and hearty.

The Prince of Wales was also there,
and my heart jumped with glee,

When I was told the Prince
would like to have a word with me!

Where did you get that hat?
Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one
and just the proper style?

I should like to have one
just the same as that!

Where e'er I go they shout:
"Hello!
Where did you get that hat?"

This is a favourite of Doug's and I have sequenced it again
because I thought I could make a more rhythmic midi for the
Karaoke. In this I think I succeeded.
