lyrics

I'd like to tell you 'bout the boy with a boater on his head
Though you might want to hear something else instead
He was a charmer with a smile that could melt a stone cold heart
And his eyes, well, they twinkled in the moonlight
Although we met a few times before,
It was usually three or four in the morning and the wine had made it hard to see
What was right in front of me

Hey! Boy with a boater,
Look at what you did, you made my heart go like a motor,
And I'd like to take you out, maybe give me a shout sometime.
Ok, so I'm a little older,
Maybe that just means that I can be a little bolder,
So I think that you and I should give things a try tonight!

So the attraction wasn't simply to his hat,
Let me tell you there was so much more than that:
Silver pocket watch, a waistcoat, and a shiny silk cravat,
That's not all, he looked so handsome in a top-hat

In the end the boater boy decided to agree,
And we're happy as can be
Holding hands, making plans, we live in perfect harmony
