Hide my face
Change my place of worship
Call me a disgrace and then be done

After winter, I'll marry
I'm entitled to that
I wear a hat
I wear a hat

Drunk and self-indulgent            Here I sit
Dressed up in a hat which even I    Drunk and self-indulgent
Detest

[TEACHER & WIFE]
Marry money
Money wins
Your past will disappear and with it
All your sins
Joy once seemed so near
Now what's left to fear
Begins

[THE LADIES]
I am wearing a hat
He'd approve if I let him
Since the world's come to that
I wear a hat

I remember my place
Though it's hard to forget him
But he can't see my face
I wear a hat
I wear a hat

[TEACHER]
I wear a...
