G                                                                                  D
Now how I came to get this hat, 'tis something strange and funny
          D                                                            G
Grandfather died and left to me his property and money
       G                                                                              D
And when the will it was read out, they told me straight and flat
                                                    D bass walks down        G
 If I would have his money,  I must   always   wear   his       hat

CHORUS
G                                                                                  D
"Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?
          D                      D7      D         G      
Isn't it a dandy one, and in the proper style?
       G                                                    D                                 D
I should like to have one Just the same as that!"
                                                    D bass walks down             G
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

someone's sure to call to me without the slightest reason

If I go to a chowder hall to have a jolly spree

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

CHORUS

At twenty-five my love and I decoded to get married

The people in the neighborhood had said too long had we tarried

 So off to church we went right quick, in order to be wed

 I kissed the bride, we turned to leave, when the parson to me said


The virus came to our town, so many folks infected

I took hydroxychloriquine... Trump said I'd be protected

I couldn't breathe, called 911, said :"please don't be slow"

When I came to the EMT said "one thing that I must Know"

CHORUS

I dreamed I died and found myself beside the pearly gates

an angel held the ledger, soon I'd learn my fate

St Peter drove up in a car and put me right at ease

"Don't worry Dave, you're we'll let you in but you must tell me please!

CHORUS

CHORUS

I jumped into politics but failed to get elected

On a stage I stood to give a speech when a good size crowd collected

and I had dodged the eggs and fruit, which was no easy task

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