My Boy Scout Hat
This song is sometimes sung as "My tall silk hat" or "My big tall hat" instead of "My Boy Scout hat". It's sung to the tune of the Italian song, "Funiculi, Funicula".
My Boy Scout Hat
Boy Scout Song
One day, as I was riding on the subway
My Boy Scout hat, my Boy Scout hat
I laid it down upon the seat beside me
My Boy Scout hat, my Boy Scout hat.
A big a-fat a-lady sat upon it,
My Boy Scout hat, my Boy Scout hat.
A big a-fat a-lady sat upon it
And squished it flat!
Christopher Colombo! What do you think of that?
A big a-fat a-lady she sat upon my hat
Upon my hat, the lady sat,
My hat she broke, and that's no joke.
My hat she broke, and that's no joke.
Christopher Colombo! What do you think of that?
My hat!*
Notes
*Alternate, "Huh!"
This version below is a Camp Song:
My Tall Silk Hat
One day I took a ride upon a subway.
My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat.
I laid it down upon the seat beside me.
My tall silk hat, my tall silk hat.
A big fat lady came and sat upon it!
My small silk hat, my small silk hat!
A big fat lady came and sat upon it!
My small silk hat, it looked like that!
Christopher Columbo, what do you think of that?
A big fat lady sat upon my hat.
My hat she broke and that's no joke.
My hat she broke and that's no joke.
Christopher Columbo, what do you think of that? Huh?
