Where Did You Get That Hat


Written By: Joseph J. Sullivan (1888)
(Lyrics added in 1901 By: James Rolmaz)
Performed By: Stanley Holloway






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?
"





Now how I came to get his 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 
also 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 some one sure to shout at me, 
Without the slightest reason. 


If I go to a concert hall, 
To have a jolly spree; 
There's some one 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're I go they shout:
"Hello! Where did you get that hat?"
