Where Did You Get That Hat - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Where Did You Get That Hat? Copyright 1888. 
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! 
Chorus. 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 "chowder-club," To have a jolly spree; There's some one in the party, Who is sure to shout at me:-Chorus. 
At twenty-one I thought I would To my sweetheart be married; The people in the neighborhood Hail said too long we'd tarried. So off to church we went right quick, Determined to get wed; I had not long been there, When the parson to me said:-Chorus.
