Lo Carmen - Milliner

Men would stop me on the street
And beg me 'where d'ya get that hat
I've gotta have one for my wife
I've gotta have one just like that
Then they'd throw their money down
And I'd add a few guineas on
And I'd take it off right there in the street
And walk bareheaded into town

I am a milliner
And I am the very best
They all tip their hats to me
Satin ribbons flowing free
They all tip their hats to me

A heavy hat's an abomination
I was just born to knowing this
Like a bird knows how to fly
Like a girl knows how to kiss

The Imperial Arcade
Was where I kept my rooms
Filled with lustrous baronet bows
And cactus rose in China blue

I am a milliner
And I am the very best
They all tip their hats to me
Satin ribbons flowing free
They all tip their hats to me

I let them watch me walk on by
Catch their breath and wonder how
How I could look so fine
Where could they get a hat like mine
I'd wink in my right eye
