Dear Folks: I am looking for the rest of a song (words at least and music if possible) of which the following is a fragment:

I had a hat when I came in, I put it on the rack, I'll have a hat when I go out, or I'll break somebody's back; I'm an honest man, I am, I am, and and I don't like to shout, But I had a hat when I came in, and I'll have a hat when I go out!

Any ideas?

click on the Radio link, above listen to the whole radio show archived for Feb 16 (I believe). Toward the end of the show Kendall called in and sang the first verse and the chorus. If you do this, you'll have the music (have a tape recorder ready).

Then click here for the words. You'll find that Kendall posted them to that thread. Great tune!
