Verse 1:

Well some folks live in houses
And some folks live in tents
And some folks live in buildings
Filled with apartments
But I've got something
better than all that
Cause me you see I live in my hat
I live in my hat - I live in my hat
I live in my hat, Oh lucky me
My hat is the perfect place to be

Verse 2:

My hat is very special
Magic you might say
I found it by the roadside
One cold and windy day
I picked it up
And placed it on my head
And that's when
The hat spoke up and said
I'm a magic hat - I'm a magic hat
I'm a magic hat - Oh can't you see
I'll keep you warm and dry
If you just wear me

Bridge

Whenever I get tired
At the end of the day,
I take my hat and toss it in the air
And magically it grows
As tall as a tree
There's a bed there for me
and that's where
I go to sleep
and drift into a dream,
where everyone it seams
has a hat like mine to wear
And everyone
Has a smile upon their face
Cause they all have a place
That they can call their
home - their home - their home

Verse 3:

Well I wake up in the morning'
And get up out of bed
I eat a little bit of breakfast
Run a comb across my head
I walk out in the sun
And just like that
Back upon my head sits my hat
It's a magic hat - It's a magic hat
It's a magic hat - Oh lucky me
My hat is the perfect place
My hat is the perfect place
My hat is the perfect place to be
I live in my hat!
