Here's Good Hat, Good Dog, Good Boat from Them Eastport Oyster Boys. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. Said: "You boys, you listen to me. All you need is just these three: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat." "A good hat can keep you cool when it's hot. A good hat can keep you warm when it's not. Keep your brain all safe and dry When the rain falls from the sky. A good hat's what you need; that's not a lot. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words, now quote unquote. "You don't need no limousine Or a castle with a big old moat; Just a good hat, a good dog, a good boat. "A good dog will be your very bestest friend. A good dog will stick with you through thick and thin. They won't fuss when you come home late, Give y' a big kiss and then they'll shake. A good dog will be your very bestest friend. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. You can lead a life of grace and ease If you set these priorities: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. [break] "A good boat is all you need to get around. A good boat will take you where you're bound. She will take you near and far. When you're there, that's where you are. A good boat's all you need to get around." "Now, Willie my old friend, I do agree. You can lead a peaceful life with just those three, But I like a woman's company. Ask any guy, he'll agree. Where do women fit in your philosophy?" Then he said, "Let's consider women for a minute. They'll judge you by your hat and how you look in it. But if they like the way you float your boat, Then you hold her tight and don't let go As long as your good dog ain't agin it." "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. "You can lead a life of grace and ease If you set these priorities: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. A good hat, a good dog, a good boat."
