The Lady In the Tutti (Frutti Hat) - Carmen Miranda

I wonder why does ev’rybody look at me And then begin to talk about a Christmas tree?

I hope that means that ev’ryone is glad to see

The lady in the tutti-frutti hat.

The gentlemen, they want to make me say, «Si, si,»

But I don’t tell them that, I tell them, «Yes, sir-ee!»

And maybe that is why they come for dates to me,

The lady in the tutti-frutti hat.

Some people say I dress too gay,

But ev’ry day, I feel so gay;

And when I’m gay, I dress that way,

Is something wrong with that?

No!

Americanos tell me that my hat is high,

Because I will not take it off to kiss a guy;

But if I ever start to take it off, ay, ay!

I do that once for Johnny Smith

And he is very happy with

The lady in the tutti-frutti hat!

Americanos tell me that my hat is high,

Because I will not take it off to kiss a guy;

But if I ever start to take it off, ay, ay!

And he is very happy with

The lady in the tutti-frutti hat!
