This Old Hat
Words and music by John Allee

 

This old hat
Sits on my head
Holds my thoughts pat
Tucked in their bed
Keeps my ears warm
Just as it’s said
Safe in a storm
Happily wed

Made with such care
Given with love
Flattens my hair
Up there above

This old hat
Like a good friend
Stays where it’s at
Right to the end
Who could resist
Something like that?
A frame for my brow
That’s special somehow
And anything but old hat

Made with such care
Given with love
Flattens my hair
Up there above

This old hat
Like a good friend
Stays where it’s at
Right to the end
Who would have guessed
Something like that
Would turn out to be
Special to me
And anything but old hat?
