  • +Mexican Hat Dance
  • Oh Americans dance on a dance floor.
  • And the Spaniards, they dance on a table.
  • And the Russians, they dance on a saber.
  • But the Mexicans dance on their hats.
  • Oh they dance on hot coals in Calcutta.
  • In Wisconsin they dance on fresh butta,
  • Which they squeeze from one cow or anutta.
  • Yes, the Mexicans dance on their hats.
  • (Ole!)
  • There are Mexicans dancing on derbies.
  • There are Mexicans dancing on caps.
  • They just throw their fedoras
  • Wherever the floor is,
  • And start doing horas and taps.
  • They won't quit! They go on!
  • It's a Mexicn custom,
  • To take hats and bust 'em,
  • By doing a dance thereupon.
  • Oh the reason they shot Pancho Villa
  • Was he danced on his mother's mantilla.
  • And the message did not reach Garcia.
  • He was out somewhere dancing on hats.
  • (Ole!)
  • There's a fellow in West Acapulco,
  • The most elegant man you could meet.
  • He does sambas on hombergs
  • To tunes of Sig Romberg's,
  • And sometimes the Nutcracker Suite.
  • So take care! So beware!
  • Or they'll put castanets on
  • And ruin your Stetson,
  • 'Cause they all think they're Fred Astaire!
  • If you're ever in Mexico proper,
  • And you're wearing a straw hat or topper,
  • When the band starts to play, call a copper,
  • 'Cause by now you should know
  • That they'll grab your chapeau,
  • And they'll stomp till it's flat,
  • And that's that!
  • That's what Mexicans do on your hat.
  • (Ole!)
