High Hat lyrics
by George Gershwin
[JIMMY]
When a fellow feels he's got to win a girlie's handie
He will send her loads of flowers, books, and tons of candy
[BOYS]
The overhead is big
Oh, how they make us dig
[JIMMY]
There's no use stepping out that way—The thing to do is lay low
You can't win by treating her as if she wore a halo
[BOYS]
What is your solution?
Tell us if you can
[JIMMY]
Well, here's my contribution
To man
High hat
You've got to treat 'em high hat
Don't let 'em know you care
But act like a Frigidaire
You'll win them like that
[BOYS]
Stand pat
Put on your gayest cravat
[JIMMY]
But keep your feet on the ground
Oh boy, how they'll come around
Just treat them high hat
[BOYS]
High hat
You've got to treat them high hat
Don't let them know you care
But act like a Frigidaire
You'll win them like that
[JIMMY & BOYS]
Stand pat
Put on your gayest cravat
But keep your feet on the ground
Oh boy, how they'll come around
Just treat them high hat
High hat
You've got to treat 'em high hat
Don't let 'em know you care
But act like a Frigidaire
You'll win them like that
Stand pat
Put on your gayest cravat
But keep your feet on the ground
Oh boy, how they'll come around
Just treat them high hat
