[Intro] [overdriven electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] Where's my hat? And where's your hat? Yeah, black hat Oh no, not again You lost it again I didn't lose it, I know exactly where it is Where? That's the problem Where's my hat? [Verse 1] [bass guitar enters, rhythmic guitar stabs] I left my hat in a taxi cab Then lost it at a corner club I found it once in a hotel hall Hanging on a bathroom wall I lost it down on Avenue 3 Then found it in a limousine I took it off to rest my head And woke up with no clothes instead [Pre-Chorus] [vocal intensity increases] Oh, my memory's playing tricks My crazy brain is in a fix Every time I lose that hat I find out where I shouldn't have been [Chorus] [brass section enters, driving rhythm] Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Where's my hat tonight? I left it somewhere where the moon was right Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Don't ask me where it's been That little black hat has seen too much again Hey, where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Don't tell my girl It's been around the whole wide world Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Oh, what a shame That hat remembers every name [Verse 2] [guitar riff continues] I met a girl at a corner bar Next morning it was in her car I lost it dancing after two Then found it with a girl I never knew The front desk girl called up at three Said, "Sir, your hat is here with me" I said, "Are you coming back upstairs?" She whispered, "Only if you dare" [Chorus] [full band energy] Oh, my hat is going bad, that hat is gonna drive me mad Every time I lost that hat, somebody knew just where I was at Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Where's my hat tonight? I left it somewhere where the moon was right Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Don't ask me where it's been That little black hat has seen too much again Hey, where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Don't tell my girl It's been around the whole wide world Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Oh, what a shame That hat remembers every name [Bridge] [sustained guitar chords, softer dynamics] I left it on a velvet chair With Chanel perfume in the air Next morning came a message line "You left your hat, come back and make it mine" [vocal belt] Oh! [Guitar Solo] [blues-rock overdriven guitar solo] [Chorus] [high energy, brass accents] Hat on a table Hat on the floor A perfect reason to come back and knock on the door Oh yeah, I thought I lost it out of place It just brought me back to her embrace Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Better everybody knows That little black hat always steals the show Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) Don't look at me It is the cleverest trick you'll ever see Where's my hat? (Where's your hat?) I finally see [falsetto] It brings me back to where I want to be [long sustained vocal note] [Outro] [guitar riff fades with drum fills]
