Hats Off

Lyrics by Rick Horowitz
©2005


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!
