Luyện nghe bài hát Manny's Hat Song

Jerry Walker

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was more than that
He was the kind of guy, you and I want for a friend
Manny was a regular guy, an old soul look in his eye
He was a man of word, and to himself to the end

Manny liked to laugh and share a good or two
If he's a you a hat, he needs to know some things about you
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what you're about
Your hat says something about you, before you even your mouth"

Manny had a funky hat shop, south of town where everyone
To sit and chat, get a hat, and get a new attitude
He loved to sit up and greet folks
Take measurements and laugh at their jokes

You couldn't stop by staying there all afternoon
His wife she sat in the back,
sweatbands in all of his hats
She listened to the radio, times I'd sing her a tune

He hats for a lot of great men
But none were finer then he made for a
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and creased 'em by
He'd take your old hat and her brand new
shape it any way you wanted him too
He'd fix it up fine with a hatband

You know his hats were worn all the world
By real cowboy, women's and
He even made one for me he called "the old friend"

Well when old friends disappear, I sometimes wonder
I'd like to think maybe there somewhere round the bend
But Manny's in heaven I bet, I'll go you one yet
I'll bet money B. and Manny are talking God into a hat

Old Manny used to me aside,
He'd say Jerry you know how to write
Why don't you up a hat song and do it just the way that you do
Well now old Manny has gone,
I finally made him up hat song
'Cause it's the best way to your old friend alive in a room

Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than
He was the kind of guy, you and I would for a friend
