Hats Lyrics

You read it in the papers and you see it on TV

The climate of the planet isn't what it used to be

The depleting ozone layer and the ultra violet rays

Are enough to penetrate your skin on clear or cloudy days

We stay out in the sun although skin cancer's on the rise

And spots turn into melanomas right before our eyes

And though we're told what we should do it seems we never learn

We walk around oblivious and burn burn burn

So everyday I wear a hat

Everyday I wear a tit for tat

No matter where the sun is at

Everyday I wear a hat

Now there's a simple remedy to keep you in the shade

They're lightweight and they're portable and some are Aussie made

I keep one in the hallway and I keep one in the shed

And every time I step outside I slip one on my head

I wear a big sombrero on a sunny afternoon

It's got a brim so wide that you could see me from the moon

My winter hat makes people think that I'm a private eye

I've never caught a criminal but it keeps me warm and dry

Everyday I wear a hat

Everyday I wear a tit for tat

No matter where the sun is at

Everyday I wear a hat

Hats come in all shapes and sizes some are known as caps

People wear them right way round or back the front perhaps

There's thinking hats and dunces hats and hats from near and far

And witches hats I knock over driving in my car

Hats come in all different colors red and blue and green

There's black and white and loose and tight and sizes in between

There's cricket caps and baseball caps and caps you wear to school

Like those floppy foreign legion caps that keep you nice and cool

Everyday I wear a hat

Everyday I wear a tit for tat

No matter where the sun is at

Everyday I wear a hat

Springtime at the races and the ladies are in force

Just like all the horses they parade around the course

The hats they wear are all designed to stand out from the rest

Some look like the kind of place a bird could make a nest

Hats give you protection working on a building site

When you're shot out of a cannon or your riding on your bike

And every time I'm stony broke I wander into town

Sing a song on my guitar and pass my hat around

Everyday I wear a hat

Everyday I wear a tit for tat

No matter where the sun is at

Everyday I wear a hat

That's that
