My Granny was a very shrewd old lady.
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
My granny said men never could be trusted.
I heard that grandpa really was a mess...
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
My momma set quite a bad example,
In fact it's thought that I may not have been...
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
The smartest woman that I ever met.
She used to say "Now listen to me Sadie",
there's one thing you never must forget.
The law won't let you carry more than that!
For if you go walking out without your hat pin,
you may lose your head as well as lose your hat!
No matter how refined they might appear.
She said that many maiden's hearts got busted.
Because men never have but one idea.
So grandma knew where of she spoke...,I guess...
Not even to some very classy joint.
For when a fella sees that you have got a hat pin,
He's very much more apt to get the "point"!
she never heeded grandmama's advice.
She found that if you give a man a sample,
The sample somehow never does suffice!
If mom had not gone out...without...her pin....
It's about the best protection you have got!
For if you go walking out without your hat pin,
You may come home without your "you know what"!
