Fred Astaire & Chorus

I left my hat in Haiti
In some forgotten flat in Haiti
I couldn't tell you how I got there
I only know it was so hot there

She took my hat politely
And wound her arms around me tightly
But I remember nothing clearly
Except the flame when she came near me

Her eyes had the fire of surrender
And her touch it was tender
And I guess in a moment as that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore her
Just look around till you've found someone who has a blue-grey fedora

I think of that gorgeous creature when I'm all alone
Whenever I do, from down inside there comes a groan
That son-of-a-gun in Haiti has got the prettiest hat I own
And when it's bleak and chilly, and life is flat
I think of that Haitian dilly, and think I'd better go get my hat

(Dance Sequence)

I left my hat in Haiti
In some forgotten flat in Haiti
I couldn't tell you how I got there
I only know it was so hot there

But I remember nothing clearly
Except the flame when she came near me

(Her eyes had the fire of surrender)
(And her touch it was tender)
(And I guess in a moment as that)
(You forget about your hat)

(So if you go to Haiti)
(There is a girl I know in Haiti)
(If you can find her you'll adore her)
(Just look around till you've found someone who has a blue-grey fedora)
