Leopard-Skin Pill Box Hat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I see you got your
Brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat
Yes, I see you got your
Brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat

Well, you must tell me, baby
How your head feels under something like that
Under your brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat

[Verse 2]
Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it's really the expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat

[Verse 3]
Well, if you want to see the sun rise
Honey, I know where
We'll go out and see it sometime
We'll both just sit there and stare

Me with my belt wrapped around my head
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new leopard-skin pillbox hat
