Panama Hat
Breaking in a brand-new Panama hat
Bought in Havana just like that
Best hat Yankee dollars can buy
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand-new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Walking on the beach with my private shade
Sipping an ice-cold lemonade
Just taking in the sea, the sun and sky
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Miami's good but Havana's better
That's what I wrote my gal in a letter
Wish you were here, we'd drink the whole town dry
While she's back home with the kids and the flat
I'm out here breaking in a Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
They got a special kinda rum that lights you up
Someone's always there, to fill your cup
Ain't like regular liquor and I can't say why
I said I'm sitting in the same place Hemingway sat
Breaking in my brand-new, brand-new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Breaking in a brand-new Panama hat
Bought in Havana just like that
Best hat Yankee dollars can buy
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand new Panama Hat
Gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Bought in Havana just like that
Best hat Yankee dollars can buy
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand-new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Walking on the beach with my private shade
Sipping an ice-cold lemonade
Just taking in the sea, the sun and sky
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Miami's good but Havana's better
That's what I wrote my gal in a letter
Wish you were here, we'd drink the whole town dry
While she's back home with the kids and the flat
I'm out here breaking in a Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
They got a special kinda rum that lights you up
Someone's always there, to fill your cup
Ain't like regular liquor and I can't say why
I said I'm sitting in the same place Hemingway sat
Breaking in my brand-new, brand-new Panama Hat
It's gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
Breaking in a brand-new Panama hat
Bought in Havana just like that
Best hat Yankee dollars can buy
Working on the brim 'cause I like it real flat
Talkin' 'bout a brand new Panama Hat
Gonna take some time
But I'm a patient guy
