Life is just a bore 
It`s a drag to leave my door 
Guess I`ll have to say 
I just cry my life away 
I`ll buy a top hat to brighten up my lonely life 
And they can see that I`ve got the money for the things money brings 

Put it on my head and each time I head to bed 
Put it in a box near my dirty shoes an socks 
(break) 
I`ll but a top hat to brighten up my lonely life 
And they can see that I`ve got the money for the things money brings 

(ad lib dialogue) 
I like that top hat 
Do you? 
Yes 
Would you like to buy that? 
Of course. How much is that ? 
3 pound 6 then please Sir . 
Thank you 

I`ll but a top hat to brighten up my lonely life 
And they can see that I`ve got the money for the things money brings 
And until she comes and she brings me happiness 
This is what I want , nothing more, nothing less
