[00:00.00]Mexican Hat Dance - Allan Sherman
[00:04.60]Written by：Sherman Allan/Busch Lou
[00:09.20]Oh Americans dance on a dance floor
[00:12.27]And the Spaniards they dance on a table
[00:15.38]And the Russians they dance on a saber
[00:18.20]But the Mexicans dance on their hats
[00:20.75]
[00:21.83]Oh they dance on hot coals in Calcutta
[00:23.91]
[00:25.49]In Wisconsin they dance on fresh butter
[00:27.56]
[00:28.17]Which they squeeze from one cow or another
[00:30.55]
[00:31.32]Yes the Mexicans dance on their hats
[00:34.12]
[00:34.67]There are Mexicans dancing on derbies
[00:37.08]
[00:37.87]There are Mexicans dancing on caps
[00:40.35]
[00:40.94]They just throw their fedoras wherever the floor is
[00:44.53]And start doing horas and taps
[00:46.84]
[00:47.92]They won't quit they go on
[00:50.52]
[00:51.23]It's a Mexican custom to take hats and bust 'em
[00:54.95]By doing a dance thereupon
[00:56.93]
[00:57.81]Oh the reason they shot Pancho Villa
[01:00.07]
[01:01.07]Was he danced on his mother's mantilla
[01:03.18]
[01:04.53]And the message did not reach Garcia
[01:06.36]
[01:07.33]He was out somewhere dancing on hats
[01:10.27]
[01:10.92]There's a fellow in West Acapulco
[01:13.03]
[01:13.94]The most elegant man you could meet
[01:16.52]
[01:17.18]He does sambas on homburgs to tunes of Sig Romberg's
[01:20.76]And sometimes the Nutcracker Suite
[01:23.39]
[01:24.13]So take care so beware
[01:26.52]
[01:27.39]Or they'll put castanets on and ruin your Stetson
[01:30.67]Cause they all think they're Fred Astaire
[01:33.68]
[01:34.26]If you're ever in Mexico proper
[01:36.43]
[01:37.77]And you're wearing a straw hat or topper
[01:40.18]
[01:40.74]When the band starts to play call a copper
[01:43.16]
[01:43.72]Cause by now you should know that they'll grab your chapeau
[01:46.89]And they'll stomp till it's flat and that's that
[01:49.94]
[01:50.65]That's what Mexicans do on your hat
