I Left My Hat in Haiti

I left my hat in Haiti

In some forgotten spot in Haiti

Don't remember how I got there
I only know it was so hot there
She took my hat politely
Then wound her arms around me tightly
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 feel in a moment like that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
And when you meet her you'll adore her
Just look around till you see someone
Who has a blue-gray fedora

I think of that Haitian cutie when I'm all alone
Whenever I do, from down inside there comes a groan
I'm the son of a gun in Haiti
That's got the craziest hat I own
And when the nights are chilly and life is flat
I think of that Haitian filly
And think I'd better go get my hat!

I left my cat in Haiti
In some forgotten spot in Haiti
Don't remember how I got there
I only know it was so hot there

She took my cat politely
And wound her arms around me tightly
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

In a moment so fiery as that
You forget about your cat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
And when you meet her you'll adore her
Just look around till you see someone
Who has a blue-gray fedora

I left my cat, hat, cat, mat
I left my fat hat
Just look around till you see someone
Who has a blue-gray fedora
