Here we go
♪
Hat was the first word that my Lucy said
So much more than some thing that you just wear on your head
Shade from the sun, cover from snow and rain
Keep your big secret under it, I mean your brain
It's thrown in the air
It's kicked and stomped in the dust
Tip it if you will or doff it if you must
It's Orchestral, Mountain, Bonner, Grews, and Creek
There's the crown and the band and the brim and the peak
Pull out a rabbit, put in all the names
There remain a man of mystery who's losing his hair
The good wear the white ones
It's black for the bad guys
Jack Abromoff the thing down over your eyes
She didn't say "Ma", she didn't say "Pa"
She said the first thing important she saw
Could've been "Juice", might've been "Cat"
Why in the world did Lucy say "Hat"?
♪
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Why in the world did Lucy say "Hat"?
She didn't say "Car", she didn't say "Star"
Those are as important as any words are
Ernie and Burt and the Count who's a bat
She didn't say those, instead she chose "Hat"
You can pass it around or throw it down in defeat
There's the man on the mound and the cop on the beat
Remove it in church, sayin' "Say can you see"
Uncover your head for God and Liberty
It's so much more than one thing
Yeah, that you wear on your head
Hat was the first word my Lucy said
It looks good on a hook
Oh, it's bad luck on a bed
Hat was the first word my Lucy said
Hat was the first word my Lucy said
