THE SUN HAS GOT HIS HAT ON
(Ralph Butler / Noel Gay)

Ambrose & His Orchestra (vocal: Sam Browne)
Also recorded by : Syd Lipton & His Grosvenor House Band.


The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today
Now we’ll all be happy, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today

He’s been tanning niggers out in Timbuktu
Now he’s coming back to do the same to you
So jump into your sunbath, hip-hip-hip-hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he’s coming out today

All the little birds are singing
All the little gnats are stinging
All the little bees in twos and threes
Buzzing in the sun all day

(Orchestral Interlude)

(Band singing)
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray

(Sam)
All the boys excited,
All the little girls delighted
What a lot of fun for everyone
Sitting in the sun all day
