Lyrics
- 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
- 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?”
