I Had A Hat Songtext / Lyric

I had a hat when I came in

and I hung it on the rack

And I'll have a hat when I go out

or I'll break somebody's back



Casey wore his brand new hat

to Murphy's wake last night

Someone stole his hat and

boys, it started up a fight;

Casey smashed the furniture,

the radio as well,

He nearly woke the corpse up

when he began to yell:






I had a hat when I came in

and I hung it on the rack,

And I'll have a hat when I go out

or I'll break somebody's back

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

and I don't want to shout

But I had a hat when I came in

and I'll have a hat when I go out!



Casey kept on shouting, boys

they couldn't keep him quiet

Someone phoned up for the cops

to come and stop the riot

Two cops rushed into the room

but Casey laid them out

He fired them through the window

they both heard Casey shout



I had a hat when I came in

and I hung it on the rack

And I'll have a hat when I go out

or I'll break somebody's back

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

and I don't want to shout

But I had a hat when I came in

and I'll have a hat when I go out!



Casey kept on shouting, boys

till one-eyed Paddy Flynn

Socked him on the whisker

with a great big rolling pin

He knocked poor Casey senseless

it was an awful clout

As he lay there unconscious

Casey kept on shouting out



I had a hat when I came in

and I hung it on the rack

And I'll have a hat when I go out

or I'll break somebody's back

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

and I don't want to shout

But I had a hat when I came in

and I'll have a hat when I go out!



I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am

I'm a peaceful loving man, I am



(I had a hat when I came in

and I hung it on the rack

And I'll have a hat when I go out

or I'll break somebody's back)
