Archibald: One day
While he was waiting for the trolley
He had a hat
Larry: My high silk hat!
Archibald: He wore it
High upon his head so proudly
A beautiful hat
Larry: My high silk hat!
Archibald: A hat
That just makes him feel so grandly
Now fancy this
And fancy that
The splendor
Of his hat in all its majesty
Larry: Like a king
In a royal cap!
I feel so swell and handsome in my hat!
I bet that others wish they had, in fact
Both: A hat as this
A hat as that
A hat so fine
A high silk hat!
Larry: Oh, Mr. Art Bigotti
Now what do you think of that?
Archibald: Now his hat
Was not all he wore so proudly
I must in fact
Share more than that
For upon his lap there sat a treat so fondly
Of chocolate this
Larry: And chocolate that
Archibald: Deliciousness
That makes him feel so dandy
A chocolate bliss
Larry: A chocolate snack
Chorus: Confections
Such as these are more than candy
Somewhat like life
A box of that
Larry: I have my chocolate placed upon my lap
I feel so good you just cannot top that
I have my snack
A chocolate pack
Of chocolate this
And chocolate that!
Oh, golly, Mr. Nezzer
Now what do you think of that?
Archibald: Now time was passing
And the sun grew hotter
Upon his hat
Chorus: And chocolate snack
Archibald: So beneath his hat he thought and pondered
Larry: What should I do
To save my hat
Archibald: He thought and contemplated
As he perspired
Beneath his hat
Chorus: Upon his lap
Archibald: He feared
His chocolate treats would soon retire
Into a pool
Chorus: A chocolate vat!
Larry: I won't feel grand
If I take off my hat
The sun's getting hot
And my hat just might go flat
My hat it might go flat
And my sweets will melt like that
Oh hurry, mister trolley
Before my dapperness goes flat!
Archibald: He decided
To forego his look so dashing
To save his hat
Jean Claude: And little snack!
Archibald: So he placed
The treats upon the seat beside him
Mr. Nezzer: And put his hat
On top of that!
Larry: Oh please
Chorus: Oh please, oh please
Larry: Don’t anybody
Sit close to me
Chorus: Sit close to me
Larry: Upon my hat
Chorus: Upon my hat
Larry: I ask
If all of you could be so kindly
And just stand back
Away from my snack!
*Squish*
Larry: A great big squash just sat upon my hat!
A great big squash just squished my hat real flat!
He squashed my hat
He made it flat
He squished my snack
Oh what of that!
Oh, tell my anybody
Now what do you think of that?
Chorus (and people gathered near Larry's bench):
A great big squash just sat upon his hat!
A great big enormous squash just squished his hat real flat!
He squished his hat
He made it flat
He squished his snack
Oh what of that...
*Trolley comes, everyone but Larry gets on, and trolley leaves.*
Larry (to passing scallion): Oh golly! Uh...what's your name?
Scallion: They've never given me a name. I've been around since show one, and I still don't have a name...
Larry: Now what do you think of that?
