Sophisticated Shade

Don't want no nickels
Don't want no dimes
What I need is five G's
To make that panama mine

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe
I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made
Five thousand dollars worth
Of sophisticated shade

Don't want no yacht
No French château
All I want is to look in the mirror
An' see that fine chapeau

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe
I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made
Five thousand dollars worth
Of sophisticated shade

Got to have that hat, don't care what it costs
Folks see me struttin' 'round town say
"Here come the boss!"
So, when you hear me sing this song I wrote
Stop, an' tap your feet
Throw down some foldin' dough
While I repeat

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe
I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made
Five thousand dollars worth
Of sophisticated shade

The proprietor wore a hat of his own
A gentleman by the name of Van Dyke Jones
Said, "All you need is five G's
To take that sky piece home"

A genius with his hands an' a pile o' straw
Made the finest hat that I ever did saw
Five thousand dollars worth
Of sophisticated shade

Talkin' 'bout a hat up in Santa Fe
I won't be satisfied 'til the purchase is made
Five thousand dollars worth
Of sophisticated shade
