Gene Kelly — The Hat My Dear Old Father Wore Upon St. Patricks Day

(Verse) "Where did ye get that hat?" folks ask me every day "Isn't it a nifty one?" you often hear them say Put it on, it's funny, can't ye see the people smile? It keeps me busy tellin' them the history of this tile (Chorus) It's the hat me dear old father wore upon St. Patrick's Day Now talk about respect With his head erect As he marched down old Broadway "Sure not a man in line Looked half as fine," Me dear old mother used to say "As your father did In this old-time lid Upon St. Patrick's Day." (Chorus) It's the hat me dear old father wore upon St. Patrick's Day Now talk about respect With his head erect As he marched down old Broadway "Sure not a man in line Looked half as fine," Me dear old mother used to say "As your father did In this old-time lid Upon St. Patrick's Day."
