Pass the Hat Around Lyrics

Welcome folks

We're glad to play for you

We're musicians thru and thru

Any place we worked

We quit it

Had to be fully committed

Can't be a profiteer

If you want to be sincere

It's a burden to your health

When all you think' about is wealth

You won't be rich

If you wanna be a black smith

We know times are tough

Your applause is enough

All we love to do

Is play music for you

Need to ask a favor first

Will you help us quench our thirst?

It's really hot up here

Will you help us buy a beer?

Pass the hat around

Pass the hat around

Take it off my head and turn it upside down

Pass the hat around

Pass around the hat

Pass around the hat

It's hot up here

And we'd like a beer

Pass we around the hat

You've come to see

A rock jamboree

We're not here to present

A charity event

We're not good with cash

Could never make it last

Never had a bank

And all our funds have shrank

We appreciate your thanks

But that don't fill our tanks

And we'll be living in a tent

If we don't pay this months rent

Pass around the hat

Pass around the hat

Take it off my head and turn it upside down

Pass the hat around

Pass the hat around

Living in a tent

If we don't pay the rent

Pass around the hat

The other day

Marshall told me he had something to say

He asked if we could chat

He confessed

He always wished

He had a cat

You won't have mice

But you will pay the price

Spending all your bread

Making sure he's fed

He said

Oh yeah

I didn't think of that

Well, he is such a nice guy

The type that's hard to deny

We quickly resolved it

The problem we solved it

Our wallets maybe flat

But still I can take off my hat

Our wallets maybe flat

But still I can take off my hat

Pass the hat around

Pass the hat around

So we can buy a beer

To help us pay the rent

So Marshall gets that cat

Pass around the hat

Lets pass around

Let's pass around

Pass around

Pass the hat arrrrrround!!
