THE GIRL IN THE LITTLE GREEN HAT
Composed by J. Scholl, B. Browne & M. Rich

There's a lake in the park, there's a house by the lake;
There's a girl in the house in the park by the lake;
And the girl in the house by the lake in the park
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
And tonight after eight, that's when I've got a date;
When the moon's riding high and the stars light the sky;
With the girl in the house by the lake in the park;
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
There's no water in the lake, there's no roof upon the house;
No trees-es in the park at all;
But I'll wait beside the lake, I'll be welcome at the house;
I'll meet her by the garden wall.
There's a ship on the lake, There's a sailor on the shore;
There's a girl in his arms, she's the girl I adore;
So goodbye to the house by the lake in the park;
And the Girl In The Little Green Hat.
VERSE 2:
There's a storm on the lake, there's a ship in the storm;
There's a girl on the ship in the storm on the lake;
And the girl on the lake on the ship in the storm
Is The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
As the ship starts to dip, she is losing her grip;
Every dip makes her tip, not the girl, but the ship;
But the girl on the ship has the pip from the trip;
The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
She's been sailing quite enough, she's been clinging to the rails;
She's dying to be home once more;
'Cause the lake is rather rough, And the girl is rather pale;
She's glad to get her feet on shore.
Ah, she gave up the ship, And the captain and his men
For a round ticket trip to my arms once again;
Now I'm back in the park at the house by the lake;
With The Girl In The Little Green Hat.
