Lyrics

  1. Where did you get that hat?
    Tell me, pretty maid
    My, but isn’t it becoming
    And such a lovely shade
    I’ve got to tell you that
    You’re a “pip” in green
    And if I’m not too familiar
    By that I simply mean

Chorus
In your green hat, you’re beautiful
The best dressed gal in town
In your green hat, you’re wonderful
From your shingle-top all the say down
You’re like a fashion show from head to toe
What a figure! What a face! And what a chapeau!
Which all means that You’re simply marvelous
In your green hat

  1. There’s not a mannequin on Fifth Avenue
    Who could wear a hat so smartly
    As that one looks on you
    You’d be a panic in Newport or Palm Beach
    I just heard a blind man whisper
    “My! isn’t she a peach?”
