Wake up in the morning
A smile on my face
Nothing but love for the human race
But then something goes wrong or something ain't right
I find myself in a great big fight
My hat, my hat
Is getting handed to me (2x)
Everyday I'm getting my hat handed to me
The telephone rings or a knock at the door
Some big issue that I can't ignore
It's happening now most every day
Getting beat up each and every way
My hat, my hat....(Chorus)
For once I had the cash to pay my bills
So I took my old Ford for a cruise in the hills
About half way up I heard a funny sound
My motor blew up and they're towing me down
My hat, my hat...
Finally got the Ford running like it should
Picking up my baby and feeling good
But I had a flat tire and showed up late
My baby got mad and cancelled our date
My hat, my hat.....
