about

But singing about it helped. And finding it helped even more.

lyrics

I lost my hat, mmm-mmm-mmm
It’s a grey day, mmm-mmm-mmm
I lost my hat, mmm-mmm-mmm
It’s gone away, mmm-mmm-mmm

I used to wear it all over the place
It looked so good on top of my face
It had a nice rim to keep out the sun
Of all the hats in the world it was the one

Chorus

I was at a party and then it was gone
Next day I had to face the dawn
Without that hat beside my bed
To grab and put on top of my head

Chorus

Then my daddy took me somewhere
And all of a sudden my hat was there
I laughed out loud, my heart did melt
But I still remember how I felt (when)

Chorus
