Keep it Under Your Hat

Lyrics

[KATIE] Well, now if you've got a cutie Who's a real sweet patootie Better keep it under your hat [Disappointed murmuring] Just remember curiosity in fables of old Killed the curious cat Supposin' you love a laddie Who's a real sugar daddy Better take in the welcoming mat Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan You're not the only sweet pea in the can So if you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat [MILLER, spoken] Now listen, men, please- [CALAMITY, spoken] Quiet! Listen, Adelaide, why don't you sing out like you do in Chicago? [KATIE, spoken] I can't, I can't! [CALAMITY, spoken] Why not? [KATIE, spoken] Because I'm not Adelaide Adams — I'm Katie Brown! [PROSPECTOR, spoken] As long as she's up there, let 'er sing [MEN, spoken (Ad-libs)] Okay, give 'er a chance! What've we got to lose? She looks all right. Let's see what she can do! Let 'er sing [CALAMITY, spoken] Let 'er rip, Katie Brown! Give 'em all yuh got, and to hell with Adelaide Adams! Do it your own way! [KATIE] Well, now if you've got a cutie Who's a real sweet patootie Better keep it under your hat Just remember curiosity in fables of old Killed the curious cat Supposin' you love a laddie Who's a real sugar daddy Better take in the welcoming mat Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan You're not the only sweet pea in the can So if you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat [KATIE & Chorus] Well, now if you've got a cutie Who's a real sweet patootie Better keep it under your hat Just remember curiosity in fables of old Killed the curious cat Supposin' you love a laddie Who's a real sugar daddy Better take in the welcoming mat Remember there's a dozen dolls for ev'ry Dan You're not the only sweet pea in the can So if you wanna know the way to keep your man Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat, Hattie Keep it under your hat, hat, hat, hat [CHORUS & KATIE] Hat, keep it under your hat!
