Hats Off to E-v'ry-one Who wants a sta-tue on the Mall, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one Who has a sto-ry full of glo-ry for us all! Nur-ses and di-plo-mats, And e-v'ry he-ro stan-ding proud, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one, And now's the time to shout it loud, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one, So wave your flag and join the crowd. Hats Off to E-v'ry-one Who wants a plaque that proves they're great, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one, A grate-ful na-tion's ce-le-bra-tion, don't be late! Wai-ters and bu-reau-crats, They'll come from far a-way and near, Let's ho-nor e-v'ry-one, And build a new one e-v'ry year, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one, And let's put e-v'ry one right here! A brief space for stage action. Hats Off to E-v'ry-one Who needs a mon-u-men-tal pile, Mar-ble and fi-li-gree And lots of cop-per for a pro-per bit of style! Aire-dales and al-ley cats, And a-ny-one who makes a case, Hats Off to E-v'ry-one, And watch the joy on e-v'ry face, Build, build for all to see, And soon the Mall will be out of space! |
