High Hat by George Gershwin Lyrics
(Verse)
[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]
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]
Here's my contribution
To man
(Chorus)
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
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
