Mick Brady: Lyrics

Gotta Get A Hat Today


I've been playing my songs for a long long time

And getting nowhere, they were outta style

I knew I was doin’ something wrong

I had to figure out what was going on


I went down to the record store

I just got inside the door and

There it was, The Country Music section

Wasn’t one million-seller didn’t wear a great big stetson


I gotta get me a hat today I'm gonna get it right away

I gotta pick one that suits me right

I'm gonna wear it day and night

'Cos a hat's much more than a hat you know

A hat's a big statement, gonna make it part of the show


It’s kinda like a law of nature

Big ol’ hat can improve your stature

I'm gonna find a hat that’s really me

I'm gonna wear it on the Grand Ole Opry


I'm gonna get my picture took

With my hat on, it’s my new look

Gonna put it on the cover of my next CD

Fans all gonna go crazy over me
