MY HAT'S ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD
(Harry Woods / Claude Hulbert 1933)

as recorded by
Ray Noble & his New Mayfair Dance Orchestra
(vocal - Al Bowlly)
October 27th 1933


Funny thing what love can do,
Take a little look at me!
Yesterday I was so blue,
Bluer than the deep blue sea!

Now I'm singing, whistling a tune,
All the live long day.
If you want to know just why,
I can truthfully say -

I've got a feeling I've found her,
It was something she said.
She's got me walkin' on the tip of my toes
And my hat's on the side of my head!

All my troubles are mended,
She's my needle and thread,
'Cause she's got me walkin' on the tip of my toes
And my hat's on the side of my head!

Oh, that wonderful smile,
Oh, I fell from the start!
You should listen awhile
To the thump thump thumping of my poor old heart!

She's got a wonderful future,
One that's rosy and red,
'Cause she's got me walkin' on the tip of my toes
And my hat's on the side of my head!

'Cause she's got me walkin' on the side of my head
And my hat's on the tip of my toes,
On the tip of my toes!
Mammy!
