My Granny was a very shrewd old lady,
The smartest woman that I ever met.
She used to say, âNow listen to me, Sadie,
Thereâs one thing that you never must forget.â
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
The law wonât let you carry more than that.
For if you go walking out without your hat pin,
You may lose your head as well as lose your hat.â
My Granny said men never could be trusted.
No matter how refined they might appear.
She said that many maidensâ hearts got busted
Because men never had but one idea.
Iâve heard that Grandpa really was a mess,
So Grandma knew whereof she spoke, I guess.
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
Not even to some very classy joints.
For when a fellow sees youâve got a hat pin
Heâs very much more apt to get the point.
My Mama, too, set quite a bad example.
She never heeded Grandmamaâs advice.
She found that if you give a man a sample,
The sample somehow never does suffice.
In fact, itâs rumored I might not have been
If Mum had not gone out without her pin.
Never go walking out without your hat pin.
Itâs about the best protection you have got.
For if you go walking out without your hat pin,
You may come home without your you-know-what!
