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`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 jolly 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`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`er I go they shout Hello Where did you get that hat
I once tried hard to be MP 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`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`er I go they shout Hello Where did you get that hat
